This is a lovely, Southern charm, "Chick-lit" book. A perfect summer diversion. I will keep reading this series. ( )

The author has never claimed to have written the next great classic so i definitely do not understand why anyone would read this and not write a positive review. It's a fun read. It's a feel good, make you smile, wish you were there yourself type book. And yes, it takes place in the south.
The Bottom Dollar is just what it sounds like, a dollar store in a small homey town where everyone knows who you are. And as is happening all over the country right now, a big box store moves in and the future for everyone at the Bottom Dollar is obvious...
The story centers around Elizabeth, her 'career', her love life and the brilliant idea she had that could possibly save the store AND the folks she loves.
Simple but solid. ( )

Recently I found myself in our little local shopping mall, with an hour or more before my ride home would arrive and nothing to read (since the bookstore there closed last fall.) Fortunately there was still Big Lots, which I recalled usually has some books on a shelf near the greeting cards. Among all the cookbooks and self-help there were a very few novels, and I was fortunate to find this one, which whiled away the time quite nicely. It's set in a small town in South Carolina near the Georgia line (the big city is Augusta, GA)where the heroine, Elizabeth, is the manager and youngest employee of the local independent Dollar Store. She, the owner, Mavis, and elderly but still feisty Attalee are concerned when they hear that a big chain dollar store is coming to town. But that's not Elizabeth's only problem -- her fiance has dumped her right after their engagement party, and she's not sure about the motives of the wealthy woman who drives in from Augusta to snap up bargains and try to run Elizabeth's life. Humor, romance, and even a little mystery round out this very enjoyable story. ( )

A perfect book for me today! I dragged alawn chair under a sycamore tree and enjoyed a big glass of cold icedtea while I read all about Elizabeth Polk, manager of the BottomDollar Emporium. Elizabeth's little Southern town is facing the worstcrisis in recent memory; a national chain, the Super Saver DollarStore, is headed into Cayboo Creek, and the town isall, "cattywampus". The plot seems to dribble away at the end, butI'd have enjoyed it just for the fresh Southern similes. ( )
