of the 2018 Readers' Favorite Finalist Award!**
Our
favorite car dealer is back, kicking ass and taking names, and she's
just as fabulous as ever.
Julia
Karr is a used car lot owner and she isn't expecting an invitation to
the popularity pool. Her business is drowning with past due accounts,
difficult customers and crazy repossessions. In order to get the
vacation of her dreams, Julia makes a deal with her husband.
After
catching a burglar, tackling a customer, and looking down the barrel
of a gun, it's clear to this feisty car dealer that her vacation may
be harder to achieve than she thought. Daily chaos drives Julia to
eat more chocolate, buy more wine, and prepare for the afterlife. She
could blame it on the contractor, the cheap casket, or a naked
friend, but she'd rather blame it on the car lot.

Can
easily be read as a standalone!
Continuing on where the first book left off, you can read this as a stand alone. It is perhaps funnier than the first, in some aspects. There are also dangerous and touching moments as well. Some secrets are not revealed until the very end.
I felt the narrative quality was higher in this second book. We still get the astonishing view of the used car business but even more of Julia's personal life and activities.
From repossessing cars to tours of the mortuary embalming room and planting roses at the cemetery, there is a different air about this second book of the series. Julia's character is more rounded and in depth. The funeral home humor struck me as clever and witty.

Told through short chapters, suitable to stand up comedy, this gives the reader a true view of what life is like in the business of selling used cars and DIY remodeling.
Let's see if it makes you want to run out and buy golf balls!
I could imagine taking them to open houses, rather than attempt this at home.

refers to her as Hobbit size and claims that she is “nuttier than a
fruit cake.”
She owns a complete set of pink tools, believes

time, she can be found daydreaming about leaving work early to eat
chocolate and drink wine. Sometimes her dreams come true.
