Florida Woman by Deb Rogers

3.0

Every one has heard of Florida Man, Jamie is Florida Woman. She went on a weird little spree that involved tearing hundreds of dollars off the wall of the Tiki Hut while drunk on tequila. There was a pelican involved too. All told, pretty tame compared to real Florida Man stories.

She's put on house arrest but ends up getting a deal to work off her time at Atlas, a monkey sanctuary. Getting vibes from Tiger King yet?

She meets the women of Atlas, who are rather hippy dippy but in a way that I would be immediately wary of, but not Jamie! She's desperate for attention and love so she jumps right in with "Let me help you feed the monkeys! Let me help cook! Let me help sacrifice at an alter! LOVE ME!" WTF? Atlas is very much not the cute monkey rescue center.

This was a decent book. Definitely a quick read but I couldn't like any of the characters and I know I was supposed to like Jamie :) Sorry, Jamie.
