So, I'm reading The Mayfair Moon by JA Redmerski, which [personal profile] eibbil_libbie graciously let me borrow and while I like it so far, I have one huge beef.

The first part of the book is set in Athens, GA, but the way this author describes the town, it sounds more like a place in south GA than Athens. And it bugs me. Not enough to make me quit reading, mind, but idk, could you have googled it?

The setting moved, now, and I'm starting to get into the book a little more so it was just a minor gripe.

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.

I think we're a lot alike that way. I usually write with google maps open if its not set someplace I've lived or someplace I've invented.

Yeah. Her sister gives off a serious reach-through-the-kindle-and-smack vibe.

I love Zia to bits.
