I had such a hard time rooting for Rhett and didn't feel like there was anything super lovable about the various plotlines or the characters.

This was a nice light read however it would be better in the fall or spring not so much the summer. Lack of space. Story of best friends more than anything else. Everything else is just a side, character or side story to the real relationship, which is between two middle-age best friends… For that purpose it is wonderful and fantastic. I have been loving reading books about middle-age women rather than young 20 some things or, fake historical characters who end up dead surrounded by their family

In Her Boots by K.J. Dell'Antonia is a perfect fit for readers who adore heartwarming stories about the power of friendship, family, and self-discovery, and who will be swept away by the charming and relatable protagonist Rhett's journey to find her true identity and reclaim her roots on the family farm.

I loved this book! It's well-written, enjoyable, and a great read. The author did a great job of writing in a way that captures the readers attention, and makes you not want to put it down until you're finished! I would highly recommend it!

I’m really enjoying this author’s backlist for a sweet, breezy and heartfelt escape - and this book was no different! I loved the characters, and left this story feeling just a little bit better about the world once I finished.

Loved this easy to read book. The story was well done and the main character was perfect. The story overall was light and perfect for an easy weekend read.

KJ Dell'Antonia is an astonishing new author that I cannot get enough of. After last year's debut of Chicken Sisters, I knew I would read In Her Boots. This was a beautiful novel about self discovery, understanding the perception of who you appear to be to others and who you really are and want to be. A great new storyline we all can relate to.

After her long term relationship comes to an end, Rhett returns home to her family farm. However, her estranged mother owns the farm and intends to sell it.

I really enjoyed this! Rhett is a bit of a hot mess, but I loved her journey to get her life together. It’s definitely women’s fiction, but there is a little romance. I listened to it in like one night!

This is delightful tale of discovery and friendship that turn into family and love. I highly recommend this book to all book lovers.

Rhett, the author of The Modern Pioneer Girl, goes back to her family farm after the death of her grandmother, but things aren’t exactly what she expected. Rhett wrote The Modern Pioneer Girl under a pseudonym and asks her best friend Jasmine to pose as her, but then her mother decides to sell her grandmother’s farm, the one she thought she was supposed to inherit. Throw in an ex-boyfriend and a scheme to get her farm back, and you have a fun, warm-hearted book filled with love, friendships, family drama, forgiveness, and second chances.

This book was cute and set in one of my favorite places, New England. The storyline was good, but I just wasn’t feeling the chemistry between Rhett and her ex - something was lacking there for me, but I think it’s because this book really isn’t a love story, it’s focused more on friendships and a strained mother/daughter relationship. Rhett was a bit much for me at times; just too naive for her age, and her mother, while I wanted to strangle her MANY times, actually ended up being my favorite character. This book would be perfect for somebody that needs a break from rom-coms and is looking for a feel-good read set in a small hometown setting.

Rhett is a single 40 something female who is at a crossroads. Her estranged mother plans to sell the family farm, but Rhett wants to save it from being sold. Gaining success as a writer under a pseudonym, she finds herself at a crossroads of how to pursue this change of events due to her mother connecting more with her book than with her.

Rhett Gallagher has led an adventurous life and has taken those adventures to writing the Modern Pioneer Girl. She arrives in NYC to visit her friend, Jasmine before going to her family’s farm that she believes is her inheritance. While in NYC she asked to go onto a morning show, which she agrees under her pseudonym Maggie. When she arrives to the set Rhett realizes that it’s her mom she’s going on the show with that she doesn’t have a good relationship and talks Jasmine into pretending to be Maggie. The whole thing snowballs and the pretending has to go on longer than expected.

There were times that I wanted to scream at Rhett. I wanted to say you’re 40 just be you! I’m glad that I stuck with the book and did enjoy the journey that it took me on. Relationships with friends and family. How sometimes you need to handle things head on instead or running away.

Thank you #NetGalley for the advance read

I truly enjoyed this book. The relationships were great and while I sometimes wanted to kick Rhett, I'm proud of her growth throughout the book. In Her Boots has heart and is light, sweet read.

I was given a NetGalley widget for this one a year ago and I just got around to reading it and dangit it was so good. I am so thankful for the opportunity to have consumed this wildly relevant fictional tale, which felt not at all fictional, more like historical fiction, due to the times. The cover initially was what drew me in, but I'm so thankful to have stuck with it because the outcome was magical.

Great story. Nice to have a heroine who finds her way to success in life. Enjoyed the twist put in by the author. Maybe a little unrealistic but an enjoyable read.

Rhett just turned 40 and wrote a book called the Modern Pioneer Girl’s Guide to Life. She wrote the book under a pseudonym and it has become a massive success. When she is asked to reveal herself, she asks her best friend Jasmine to step in as the MPG.

The MPG is a motivational book empowering women and inspiring girls to go after their dreams. Rhett has to use this advice herself after she finds that her estranged mother wants to sell her recently deceased grandmother’s farm. Rhett must prove it’s a working farm that her mother cannot sell. She has to hoist herself up by her bootstraps to save her beloved family farm.

This was a little outlandish for me. I like the idea of the modern pioneer girl, but it didn’t seem like Rhett wanted any of the accolades that came when the success of her book. I didn’t really like Rhett that much and while there was a small romance, it just wasn’t enough for me.

Thank you so much to @putnambooks for my gifted copy.

KJ Del'Antonia displays her writing chops and skills as a story teller with In Her Boots. A fun and uplifting rom com that was a delight to read. . A angsty homecoming and a prank gone wrong, a captivating story of identity and having a second chance at finding love. Funny, uplifting, heart warming and romantic. Overall a solid read.

DNF. Unfortunately, this was a book I started multiple times but could just not get into. I appreciate having the opportunity to read this book, it was just not a good fit for me as a reader. Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for my gifted review copy.

Heartwarming and fun. This book is such a cute read that made me feel so many different emotions. Very relatable characters and a wonderful plot!

After reading and loving the book, The Chicken Sisters, I was so excited for another book by this author. I found I didn’t love it as much, but I still enjoyed it! I felt like it had some slow parts to it, but there were also parts I really loved as well. I felt like the story was more based on female friendships with the characters verse romance. If you’re a fan of books about friendship, forgiveness and second chances, you will love this one. I do recommend checking it out!
