One woman. One case of self-denial. One hunky best friend who wants a lot more.

Watching the man she thought she'd marry tie the knot to someone else spurs small-town waitress, Mandy Mattson, to finally pursue her dreams of opening her own restaurant.

But she can't do it alone. . .

Mandy's going to need the help of her sexy, long-time best friend, Frankie Smith. He has everything she needs--and more. She fell for him years ago, but has never allowed their friendship to evolve into something beyond platonic. After all, he's "Frankie fall-off-the-tower Smith,” and she has no intention of giving her heart to a dare devil like him.

But what happens when Frankie asks Mandy to take the biggest dare of all? Will she finally lose her heart to her best friend?

This book was not really to my tastes, 2 stars is probably REALLY generous and I had to MAKE myself finish it otherwise I feel bad for not giving it a chance to improve and unfortunately for me it didn't.
The h for me was really unlikable, she came across immature, whinny, and with a huge feeling of self-entitlement to the point that I didn't want her to succeed and didn't really care if she got the HEA. She complained that she was always made to look stupid and embarrassed and frankly it was all her fault these instances kept occurring.
The H needed a to find a backbone and some manhood and stop being a doormat. He really didn't stand out for me at all.
Her developing a business seemed to be the main focus in this book and the romance/relationship was secondary and very underdeveloped. It was really predictable and a tad boring. Wont be continuing this series.

I personally think the girl in this story needs her head checked.
Oh I like the story, but really Miss pity party. I don't want to ruin our friendship... Please I just wanted to shake my ebook and make her see that love is not about trying to up one and be rich.
I grabbed the other books that were free and Lo and behold all the girls do the same thing! These chicks in Blueberry are just dumb! Oh I don't want to ruin our friendship with said hunk of a guy who is our best friend! Lord have mercy... Get a new insecure line. This one is worn out.

Like the book though that's my only beef with this series.

A bit of a slow start

This is the second book in this series I have read. It took a little while to warm up to Mandy, not because of the first book but she was just too dim. About a third of the way through her character started to get more depth and the book finished well. I’m still keen to continue reading the next book in the series.

Whiskey and Gumdrops: A Blueberry Springs Chick Lit Sweet Contemporary, by Jean Oram.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 13 June 2016

I just loved this quirky, funny and very frustratingly. Independent main character, Mandy, who infuriated me too actually start shouting at her whilst reading this story for being so stubborn and naive to what the whole town could see except her. It was like she had tunnel.vision as to the way Frankie, her best friend for years, felt about her. She was so busy trying to be self supporting, that she lost sight of what was going on around her. Trying to make something of herself instead being just a waitress who practically ran the restaurant that she worked for. Second guessing herself all the time, probably due to the fact that her boyfriend of eight years, up and married her friend and left her in pieces. However, it took to almost losing the the best friend who she had been having romantic feelings for nearly slip away from her to wake up and smell the uhmm, blueberries! ( sorry for the pun) but couldn't' resist, to realise that she could lose the one man who meant anything to her all along. Fortunately for Mandy, love has a way of finding it's way back to the right person and that was Mandy.(Heaving a sigh of relief, and quit the B.P. tablets, are back to normal). Great story, loved every quirky moment of it, so thank you author for the entertainment and looking forward to more of your stories of the same.

The trouble is, she is secretly in love with him but doesn't want to spoil their friendship. When her business in in doubt before it has even started she eventually turns to Frankie. Another easy read from Jean Oram.

Easy reading.

A great friends to lovers romance. Frankie has been in love with Mandy for years, but she is reluctant to be more than friends. Frankie is a sweetheart, he encourages her to follow her dreams and helps in anyway he can. There is that time in the book when you feel she's left it too late and is losing the love of her life. But thank goodness for happy endings!

This is a sweet book of a small town romance with lots of hiccups on the way and a nice tale of someone who wants her own business but has neither the (official) training for it (high school graduation only?) nor the money. And how she realises her dreams – both of them.
Jean Oram write a nice romance about small town America as dreamt of but may never really exist, but still is in the American subconscious as a place many would like to believe in.
Her style is easy and fun and flows along with twists and turns and obstructions to be overcome before the final ending is achieved.

Oh man, dont

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 19 February 2017

I would always strive to not give a bad review but this book is 80% deplorable.

In chapter 4 I had to check that I was actually reading a book that is edited and published and part of a series. In chapter 12 I was questioning life itself. This book is so very badly amateurish and written so haphazardly.

No prizes for guessing the storyline and indeed the ending but the story and writing got better in the last few chapters, like maybe the last 4!

Don't bother.
