In high school Sugar Carey had reigned supreme. She alone had decided what or who was cool. Her spiral perm had been the perm against which all others were measured, and her opinion on which boys were acceptable to date the only one that counted. A beautiful, blonde - if not always benevolent - dictator, she had a reputation for being the wild child in her hometown, the girl most likely to set the world on fire, and leave a trail of destruction in her wake. When she left home she swore she'd never return. Only now, fifteen years and several husbands later, she's run out of money, luck and options... Only Sugar arrives back home to discover that everyone else is living her life. Her half sister is married to Sugar's high school sweetheart, the teacher she schemed to get fired is now a successful novelist and owns her old house. She also discovers that people have long memories - especially where Sugar is concerned...

Yes, this is my 2nd book for the day. Hahaha.. :) After reading Ain't She Sweet?, I'm now confused. Confused which one is now my favorite SEP book, this one or Call Me Irresistible? And I'm actually tempted to re-read all my SEP books. I think I'm starting to appreciate her writing more.
I love Sugar Beth. She's such a wise-ass. At first, I'm a little hesitant to read about Sugar Beth since she used to be such a b*itch. But I'm glad that I still continued to read the book and I totally enjoyed it. I love how she speaks, I love her spunk and I love that even if she's scared and all, she was able to face all the people that she hurt way back and handle their scorn. Painful at times, but I find myself cheering her on the whole time.
Of course I love Colin as well. He's British.. what's more to ask for? LOL... I actually was even picturing Neil Jackson as Colin while reading the book. He wanted revenge, yes... but then the tables turned on him when Sugar Beth handled the situation splendidly.
Overall, I really enjoyed reading this book. It's not everyday that I get to read about a heroine like Sugar Beth :).
