The book was ok. I'm not super into country music but I do like Dolly Parton and I've read James Patterson before so I wanted to give it a try. I often thought AnnieLee was extremely naive and obtuse. I also thought she was unrealistically lucky. We didn't figure our what her mysterious past was until over 90% of the way through the book and I was frustrated when it kept getting brushed off. It made her character and the entire plot line feel shallow. The whole mystery was also completely dissolved in two chapters at the end of the story and had a neat and tidy happy ending that seemed rushed and out of place after everything. I wanted to like this book but I was pretty disappointed.
