While touring with group of Confederate Civil War re-enactors for a summer internship, Libby and Dev attempt to design and sell Southern Confederate costumes for a ball, investigate haunted battle grounds, and seek handsome Southern soldier boys.
I was really excited to have the opportunity to catch up with Libby, and I was excited to get to spend more time with her bestie, Dev, because he was hilarious. As always, Strohm delivered the funny, and who doesn't love culinary history? I have a special appreciation for Strohm pop culture references. When the mystery began to emerge in the story, I immediately thought it had a Scooby vibe, and then Strohm embraced it, and nods to the Scoobies began. She also referenced a song I proudly performed with my friends (Billy, Don't Be a Hero), which really put a smile on my face (and a song in my head).
This book gave me exactly what I was looking for - a fun, low drama summer read with lots of hijinks and a touch of romance, and I am happy I got to spend two summers with Libby.
