Deep Fried and Pickled | Paisley Ray

1 post | 6 read | 2 to read

Book one of THE RACHAEL O'BRIEN CHRONICLES introduces Rachael O'Brien, whose plan to study Art History turns into a laugh-out-loud romp of misadventure. It's 1986, the era of Pop Rocks, Jelly shoes, and big hair rockbands when she enrolls in a southern college intending to earn a degree, party, and meet cute guys--hopefully acing the latter two. She has barely had time to acquaint herself to the dorm food before finding herself threatened by a jealous She-Devil, fending off the advances of a thirty-something redneck, and stumbling upon an art fraud scheme. To top things off, her parents go their separate ways: her mom to follow a psychic calling; her dad adrift in his midlife crisis. Bad decision-making, law-bending behavior, and surprise romances make freshman year memorable in Paisley Ray's DEEP FRIED AND PICKLED.

The cover synopsis states that “its 1986, the era of pop rocks, jelly shoes, and big hair rock bands”. So i was lured in by the hope for some heavy duty nostalgia and pop culture references, alá Ready Player One. This book started out as a coming of age, inexperienced girl dipping her toes into the pools of college debauchery and about 3/4 of the way in, morphed into a full-on Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys mystery. Barely escaped my DNF pile.
