Book Blogger Appreciate Week (BBAW) kicks off today and in celebration I will be hosting book giveaways every day this week!
Today's book is Girls in Trucks by Katie Crouch.
Sarah Walters is a less-than-perfect debutante. She tries hard to follow the time-honored customs of the Charleston Camellia Society, as her mother and grandmother did, standing up straight in cotillion class and attending lectures about all the things that Camelliasdon't do. (Like ride with boys in pickup trucks.)
But Sarah can't quite ignore the barbarism just beneath all that propriety, and as soon as she can she decamps South Carolina for a life in New York City. There, she and her fellow displaced Southern friends try to make sense of city sophistication, to understand how much of their training applies to real life, and how much to the strange and rarefied world they've left behind.
When life's complications become overwhelming, Sarah returns home to confront with matured eyes the motto "Once a Camellia, always a Camellia"- and to see how much fuller life can be, for good and for ill, among those who know you best.
This is a new, never read soft-cover book.

I would love to be entered! I've lived several different places growing up, but I kind of feel like the hometown part is where I went to elementary school, in Dallas, TX. It's a big city, but we lived up on the north edge of town and I always felt at home there.

1. Palmerston North in New Zealand! Woohooo! Yeah, apparently we're the suicide capital of the world or New Zealand or something. I don't know. Our claim to fame is that when John Cleese visited Palmy he said that if you're ever suicidal and can't work up the nerve to do it, just visit Palmy and it'll give you that last oomph to do it.
Hey, don't look at me, I'm just living here till I can get a better job somewhere else.
