Angie Mangiamele runs a film company in Hoboken, New Jersey-a long way (in more ways than one) from Ogilvie, Georgia. But a new project has brought her to this small Southern town, where she stands out like a fire truck in a flower garden. She's been invited to Ogilvie by Miss Zula Bragg, the intensely private literary legend who's agreed to appear in a documentary made by Angie's highly unconventional crew. And there's someone else in own Angie looks forward to seeing: John Grant, a descendant of Ogilvie's founders with whom she had a long-ago summer romance. But John's wedding-to the daughter of a prominent local family-is just days away, and promises to be the sleepy town's social event of the year. What could possibly go right?

The story takes place in Ogilvie, Georgia, where Miss Zula Bragg, a local resident and an award winning author, is about to celebrate her 50th reunion from Ogilvie College, while the college celebrates its 150th anniversary. To commemorate that event, the college wants a documentary made about Miss Zula and Miss Zula says only one documentary company will do: Tied to the Tracks of Hoboken, New Jersey. So we have three people from Hoboken, NJ, thrown into this small southern town and the fun begins.
Tied to the Tracks is run by Angie Mangiamele who five years ago had a relationship with John Grant who is now the head of the English Department at Ogilvie. John is also engaged to marry Caroline Rose soon. What will happen when Angie and John meet up again after five years? Is the spark still there?
I won’t give away any more of the plot, but I will say that this is just a really fun read. We’re introduced to many of the inhabitants of Ogilvie, like Patty-Cake Walker, office manager of the English Department who holds the copy machine captive from department members and who is going to do everything she possibly can to keep Angie and John apart.
I’ve seen this book called chick lit, but I think it is so much more than that. I really enjoyed every page and hated to see it end. (
