Isabelle is haunted by remorse over a past mistake that drastically changed the lives of those closest to her. Apologizing would be a step in the right direction. If only she could muster the courage to say, “I’m sorry.” Her world is turned upside down when her late husband’s will stipulates that she transform their waterfront estate into a bed and breakfast. As the summer’s first guests are due to arrive, Isabelle feels increasingly overwhelmed. Unexpected help arrives in the form of her twenty-four-year-old granddaughter.

Shelby, fresh out of college with no job and too much time spent obsessing over her ex-boyfriend, is sent to the Lowcountry by her exasperated parents. As personalities clash, Isabelle and Shelby discover they are more alike than they realize. Can they set aside their differences to manage the challenges that arrive with their first wave of guests?

Reviews for Souther Discomfort

Great life lessons in a riveting novel filled with imperfect characters trying to overcome adversities!

Because you’re a fairy godmother or a guardian angel. Whichever magical being you are, we clearly need you.

Lots of family drama, secrets coming to light, and also the most delightful character I’ve read in a long time – Blossom.

Author Ashley Farley writes excellent contemporary women’s fiction. Southern Discomfort is a perfect example as it entails a dysfunctional family, a dispute over a Will, remorse over a terrible decision that drastically changed the lives of three family members, continued disdain for family members, and a granddaughter whose life is out of control sent to live with her Grandmother.

My Thoughts

This is my first Ashley Farley book but it won’t be my last. This story combines Southern charm and relationships. Namely, between a granddaughter and her grandmother. I loved my granny like no other so this was a sweet spot for me. Another top-notch character was Blossom who was always there for Izzy. Check out this book featuring great characters, family dynamics, and sweet Southern charm.
