I didn't know enough about Georgia to get that sliver under my skin about it, but I remember having to step away from a book for awhile because of a Huge Blatant No.

The chick had her main characters visiting the Okracoke Island lighthouse. She mentioned the visitor's center and the snack bar...when that particular lighthouse is seriously in someone's backyard.

Glad you're enjoying it even with the blech of messing up a location.
