The Lost Queen of Crocker County by Elizabeth Leiknes

Jane Willow - successful, potty-mouthed, ball breaker yet honest movie critic has just been handed her own jaw-dropping movie ending. Her wonderful parents were flying in their small plane and there was an accident. She is alone. So, thirty-something Jane hops in her vintage sports car and drives to the land of her youth - True City, Iowa. She left years ago and never looked back but must now reconcile old failed friendships, relive past mistakes and find a way to make things right. This book made me laugh, cry and want to rewatch old movie classics like "Music Man" and "Breakfast at Tiffany's" all in the same chapter! Elizabeth Leiknes gets it all and is spot on with the fakeness of Hollywood to the down-home goodness of the Midwest. There is drama, there is youthful stupidity and there is loads of love. Grab your tissue box cause you are gonna need them.
