"I tear the word jubilant out and add it to my collection. Even though I am the exact opposite of jubilant, I can see it's a good word. It sounds like candy, something colorful and sweet you can chew on for a long time."
This is exactly how I feel about Violet, the heroine of Danette Haworth's lovely gem of a novel, Violet Raines Almost Got Struck by Lightning. At times she left me feeling less than jubilant, but for the most part, she was sweet and colorful and I was so glad to have met her. Spunky, snarky, and full of sass, this is one diva I'd love to have as my loyal friend, even if it means taking a chance and knowing a storm or two might come along. This is a fantastic first offering from an author sure to have many more stories to tell. I can only hope that Violet will be in good company!
