Maybe 2.5? This was fast and fun but if I'm being honest I have no plans to carry on with the series and I'll probably end up forgetting about it in a few months. Eh

April 23, 2020I didn't make it a quarter in before calling it quits. Emmie feels mostly like a stand-in for situational comedy and, for me at least, all the jokes fell flat. It doesn't help that the heart of what plot there is revolves around the judgmental jerks who dominate their small town. Emmie thinks to herself how it's like being set back to the fifties, and she's right if you take the worst stereotypes and accept them for reality. Which is the problem, really. Why would I want to spend time in a small-minded bigot-fest where people look for the worst in each other so they can judge as harshly as possible? Including the guy we're supposed to eventually like?!? At least her family is okay. But that only makes it worse as they kowtow to the wannabe fascists openly criticizing everyone else. I got to the point where I dreaded the next chapter's idiocy and just stopped. With some relief...
No rating on this one for . . . reasons. It's complicated. Which is why there's a link...

DNF.
This was just dumb. I guessed the big “surprise” on page 10. I can’t keep slogging along for 240 more pages with these idiot characters until they figure it out, because no one will have the simple conversation that would clear everything up in a second. Also, how many times did I need to read about the heroine’s gigantic lactating breasts?

I would give this 3 and 1/2 stars if I could. It was a cute, easy read that I enjoyed. It was sweet but not fake sweet. It had some funny moments too. But most of all it was about family and coming home, realizing what is important and fighting for it. It wasn’t great literature but it was enjoyable.

You ever read a book so offensively bad that you couldn't start a new book after it? I mean, the book is so much garbage that the thought of the possibility of the next book being like that makes you maybe never want to read again? That's what this book did.
This book was like reading what someone who'd seen a lot of movies about the south thought the south would be like--people fanning themselves as they swoon and say, "I do declare!" It's not that it's offensive, just that it doesn't seem like the author tried very hard.
The families were meddlesome 24/7. They literally never took a break. It was exhausting and not even the least bit cute. This weird notion they all had that they had some right to choose their children's mates grew old in the first couple of chapters. It was a modern book, but with the way people behaved over the idea that a woman could have a baby out of wedlock was ridiculously old-fashioned.
There were a lot of weird, old-fashioned ideas in this book, like the author was trying to shove her agenda down my throat. Being ashamed of a one-night stand. Getting knocked up and automatically being in love with it instead of the panic that most people in that situation would feel, feeling they shouldn't have sex with someone until months down the line or possibly marriage (yes, I realize there's nothing wrong with these things in and of themselves, but it was a lot at one time, and it didn't feel like a character or even the family's long-held beliefs--just a convenient plot device).
I feel like I should also mention the brooding dude who acts like he's gone off the rails from the bat, flipping between icy to all but molesting a nursing woman in a changing room. The dude was weirdly self-righteous. The plot twist of how he's the (spoiler alert) baby's father is easy to spot from the first couple of interactions with him, though it's more confusing as to why he's being a douche bag. Literally, all he had to do was talk to the main character and he could have stopped being so dickish and resentful right from the start, and that truly might have made it a more interesting twist than the usual mistaken identity/too drunk to remember/whatever trope going on here. I mean, if you can't find a way to make some sort of tension otherwise, maybe you need to reevaluate some life choices.
Also, I truly dislike adults who call their parents "Mama" and "Daddy." There was a lot of this. Perhaps even too much of it.
There was also the fact that it felt like the author found some sort of southern catchphrase generator and kept pressing, "I'm feeling lucky" and used whatever euphemism that it crapped out. I would go back and find examples if the thought of reading any part of this book again didn't fill me with sadness. It wasn't as if a character or two had something they typically said, like "Butter my buns and call me a biscuit," these things were all over the map and came up constantly. Seriously, it was like the author tried really hard to sound like she was from that part of the world.
This book was free. That's about all I can say about it. It was also an incredibly quick read, but you might feel like curling into a ball and moaning afterward.

ספר חמוד ביותר ורומנטי הכתוב בעגה "דרומית" מאוד כבדה עם סוף קצת מופרך אבל מרגש ומשמח. נהניתי לקרוא ואמשיך לבאים בסדרה.

This book was recommended by authors Jennifer Peel and Becky Monson so I put my cash in and bought it. I kept having hope and faith with such high acclaimed recommendations that some of the vulgarity of the heroine would dissipate. Mercy, bless her heart, she just got more descriptive and had less of a filter in thoughts, speech, and action as it went along. I guessed the plot twist pretty quickly and was frustrated the heroine couldn't figure it out the rest of the 85% of the book which was an annoying thing hanging over my reading pleasure. I think this was probably just a me the reader, not the book's writing fault. For someone else less sensitive this will probably will be and has been to other readers 5 stars.

Emmeline Frothingham is from a small town, with small-minded judgemental petty people. When she grabs the opportunity to leave and makes her way to New York City to become the head buyer at Silver Spoons a posh boutique, that is until "The Event" that changes her life in every conceivable manner.
It's like the Beverly Hill Billies meet the Real Housewives of New York City, only it takes place in Creek Water, Missouri.
Once again Whitney Dineen pens a story that is kindred, comparable with some outrageously hilarious events that you could picture in a romantic comedy movie but also real life. I truly enjoy this woman's style of writing it's clear, concise, witty and while reading her words you can picture the events unfolding in your mind's eye. Her words always leave me with a light heart and kindness that I wish to last forever. An excellent romantic comedy which I hope is picked to become a big-screen hit!

A fun trip to the South!
Oh boy – The Event is just like living in the south! It has all the quirky characters, loving crazy relatives who will “fix” your problems for you AND bury the bodies. It is hilarious. I will say I figured out a key plot point early on but it didn’t ruin the story for me, at all. Emmie (Emmaline) Frothingham is a very strong, lovable, crazy character and Zachary Grant is such a great guy – they are the perfect match for this story. Zach fits right in with all the town craziness! Of course, he is a home town boy so it works for him. And Baby Faye… She may not say much but loved her. Really good read with all the feels and laughs you can handle, y’all!

2.5 stars rounded down.
ughhhh this book was so frustrating and I honestly don't know why I pushed through to finish it. The writing was amateurish and the transitions were awful. I also don't know how this got published because there were so many grammatical, spelling, and punctuation errors throughout the book that the editor should have caught.
I wanted to love the plot but it was paper thin even on the Hallmark/Lifetime romance movie scale. Every single character was one-dimensional. However, there was one twist I didn't see coming so that made it somewhat worth it. I will be skipping the rest of the Creek Water series.

The Event was such a refreshing read!!!! I loved all the characters; however, I started getting a little annoyed with Emmie’s family being involved in EVERYTHING....but as the story progressed, it was evident that with it being a small town, that’s how it worked.
I just adored Zach!!! I had a little “feeling” of what truths were going to be revealed; which honestly, that was fine because the story was so great!
I giggled so many times too!!!
One of my fav quotes:
“It’s like you were being pulled to where you belonged, to my side”

Definitely a candidate for a Lifetime or Hallmark movie! Very predictable and for some reason, there was much time spent describing who rode in what car as well as who got dropped off and picked up. I stopped probably around page 40. I was looking for something light hearted but this was just too mindless.
November 14, 2019
Definitely had a few issues (tried to make a joke out of things that were dysfunctional, secret became glaringly obvious early on, and the ending became a sickeningly sappy), but for the most part that was an entertaining, quick read.

May 24, 2020Not rating because I read only one chapter. It starts with a summary of everything that happened to her rather than action or at least a scene.
April 12, 2020
Ugh- this book frustrated me. There were A LOT of grammatical and punctuational errors in this book, which leads me to wonder HOW they weren't caught by the editor?!
It took me about a day and an hour of the next to finish this book, it was okay. Some of the character development was very flat and one dimensional, I got enraged at the mom and aunt in the book, I almost put the book down because they were downright ANNOYING.
I get what the author was trying to do, it's a small town feel and gossipy- but enough with the Mama, Daddy, Auntie etc. I got uncomfortable and just took those words out. I also didn't know / couldn't tell how old the main character was? She acted like she was 50 but at the beginning of the book they made her out to be late 20's? I don't know but I couldn't get a good visual, one minute she was acting like my mothers age and the next she was throwing tantrum and about as mature as a 10 year old.
The book drew out the beginning, there were a LOT of filler words and filler "things" to try and make the book more dramatic (aka another pregnancy?) but it seemed that there wasn't a real meaning to the story.. a lot of complaining and a God awful name like Cootie.
The ending seemed to wrap up in a mater of 2.5 chapters, while the rest of the book was about 50+ chapters of a lot of "I need to feed the baby" and drama that wasn't really anything?
I don't know, I wanted to like this book but I felt aggravated and annoyed at the end due to how quick the author finished it out. I think with all the grammar errors, lack of character development, and a lot of "daddy" thrown in there, this book was a bust.

3.5 stars
Emmeline left Creek Water, went to Duke University and got her dream job in New York. Everything was going according to plan until The Event. She was supposed to win that award. Her reaction was less than stellar. A few drinks, a stranger and a year later she is out of a job, on her way back to small town America with a little bundle of joy. the family welcomes her home with open arms. The town bully (Cootie) not so much.. The family concocts a fake fiancee to smooth her transition back into town. Zach has always had a crush on Emmie but a misunderstanding in high school caused a bit of tension. Now he is all grown up and filled out nicely. However, he is fake dating Coottie's daughter. The antics of the small town and the loving family make a mess of things and what could have been an easy move back becomes complicated. fun story with low heat.

I read this in less than a day - it was a cute and light read, and honestly perfect for anyone who has ever lived in a small town. I think Dineen really nailed the way that news can travel quickly, and how you can feel like everyone is casting judgments on your life without the full picture.
Zachary was honestly a dream guy - he was helpful and considerate and really just an all-around good person (he took flowers to Emmie's grandma every week of his own volition - hello??).
The story was fun, if not predictable, but my main issue with this book was how quickly the end seemed to wrap up. I needed more time to sit with the conclusion, and I think the story could have benefited from drawing out some of the final scenes.
Thank you to NetGalley for the chance to read this book in exchange for an honest review!

Sweet, funny romance
Needs some editing, to fix a lot of typos. Wrong words in the wrong place (‘someone’ instead ‘something’, and such) made it a little tedious to read at times.
All-in-all though, it was chock full of Southern charm and humor. The romance was very sweet.
It did tend to drag a bit at times, but there again, nothing a good editor couldn’t fix.
I only give 5 stars for books I would read again and again. Due to the above reasons, The Event doesn’t quite reach that level, but it was still a great way to spend a rainy afternoon. In the end, I think it is a romance most romance fans will enjoy. No Scooby Doo Mystery, praise be! Just a nice, not overly sweet romance.

Chuckles throughout ~ leaving a smile when finished
How enjoyable was it once Emmie moved back home to her close-knit extended family and the local turmoil of Creek Water, Missouri! If there's an "event" ... leave it to Emmie to step right into the middle of it, and then walk out the other side with her spine straight and her head held-high. Each character was unique and almost all were very likeable. I thoroughly enjoyed meeting each member of her Frothingham family, and continued to be surprised how she applied her southern charm to help each one. I'm really looking forward to THE MOVE now.

Very shallow book about a woman who gets drunk at a work party, knocked up by a stranger and then returns to her hometown.
Perhaps the strangest part of this book was how immature the “adults” were. Here we have the main character’s mother spraying ketchup on the town’s bully’s dress and acting like she got her period. Wait, how old are these women? What year is this? Did we somehow revert back to 6th grade? This whole scene sums up the book for me. Immature characters with a ridiculous storyline.

It was fine. Pretty uneventful and unsatisfying, honestly. You figure out what the “twist” is literally right away and then spend the entire book being annoyed at the MMC’s (already forgot his name) lack of communication and Emmeline’s complete idiocy. Why didn’t he just tell her it was him back in the day?? Save them both all the stupidity. Then because the baby was 26 days early he assumed there was “no way” it was his baby? At least TELL her it was him that she had sex with lol

I love Whitney Dineen's writing! The Event was excellent, as all of her books are. This one had a southern charm thing going that was very sweet, but it still had her trademark family quirky closeness and small town vibe. The characters were vibrant and distinct, and the plot is very character driven. Loved it.

The event is a sweet, heartwarming story that kept me engaged. It's witty and smart and had me laughing at how life surely does try to buck you off. It's fun to read and I'll recommend it to anyone loving a typical rom-com.
