Deep Fried and Pickled by Paisley Ray (The Rachael O'Brien Chronicles Book 1) Audible review
To date there are 8 novels in this humorous romantic misadventure mystery series with book #9 due to release spring of 2016.
It’s ’86, the era of Pop Rocks, Jelly shoes, and big hair rock bands. Rachael O'Brien's freshman plan seems simple: Attend a southern college, earn a degree, party, and meet cute guys—hopefully acing the latter two.
But being threatened by a jealous She-Devil, avoiding the advances of a thirty-something redneck, and discovering an art fraud scheme thwart her “to do” list.
On top of her troubles at school, Rachael finds herself forging a new relationship with her emotionally shaken father after Mom abandons the family to pursue a psychic calling.
Bad decision-making, law-bending behavior, and surprise romances make freshman year memorable in Paisley Ray’s DEEP FRIED AND PICKLED.
"I often get asked by readers what order THE RACHAEL O'BRIEN CHRONICLES books should be read in. Each book can be read without any prior knowledge of any of the others. That said, some readers do want to follow a chronological list of events in Rachael's southern fried, 80's college life antics so here it is".....

"Being a Southern girl and child of the 80s myself, I enjoyed the characters, the setting and the period references. Good plot without being too serious or watered down."
"This fun and quirky mystery was very nostalgic for me as I got to relive the eighties through Rachael."
"An entertaining read. Fresh new characters and some zany plot twists kept me reading late into the night."

Is it possible that a book can both make you wish you were back in college at the same time making you happy you never have to relive those days again?
I listened to the audible version and LOVE the narration. Laugh out loud funny!
Even if you've never set foot in the south you will find yourself repeating the slang and picturing each hilarious scene.
