GRR Reviews The Strawberry Hearts Diner by Carolyn Brown

Jancy lost her mother and ended up following her father all over US until he died. When a bad boyfriend got her into trouble, she survived probation and was headed to Louisiana to join her cousin. She stopped in Pick, Texas to visit her grandma's grave, having spent a few years there in her childhood. She tried to leave when her car burned up in the parking lot of Strawberry Hearts Diner. Given she has no money left, and no wheels, and the diner does have a "help wanted" sign, perhaps it's a sign for her to stay put for a little while... Jancy had never known a real home, when her father has wanderlust and her mother chose to follow along. When an old crush tempted her, will she fight for the town against a possibly evil real estate developer?

Romance is there, great characters, but not quite to the must-read level.
