46 pages. I wouldn't call this a romance, this was a story about women finding out their husbands were living a lie and the wives reactions when they find out what their hunbands were hideing.

82 pages and 2 mini stories that really got me hooked. But then the next book is $10?????
No way Jose.
I am not paying that for a book that might just be another mini story.

A 75 page very well- written free story of Blessings, Georgia and the divorcee who moved there to set up the beauty shop The Curl Up and Dye. Lol This is a tale of southern woman in the best tradition of Steel Magnolias. This is an adult book with adult situations and adult language. Bless Your Heart! My only complaint - it wasn' t long enough. Here's to the women of Blessings, Georgia.

Terrific Novella
This was a great story from Sharon. Kinda funny how you get back at the one you love. Then to have all the women stand behind you.

Absolutely loved the book. It was funny and couldn't help but root for Patty as she stepped out and turned her lifeguards down for the better.

In Count Your Blessings (formerly Color Me Bad) we are introduced to a group of women in Blessings, a small town in Georgia. Curl Up and Dye is the hair salon in Blessings, run by 4 women. It is a hub of activity, change, and friendship. It is in Curl Up and Dye that customer Patty finally admits to herself the direction her life is taking and the changes she's going to have to make. She's suspected her husband, the preacher, is having an affair ... and it is in Curl Up and Dye that she confronts not only this reality, but the other woman!
This sets in motion change and new beginnings for not only Patty, but many of the women in Blessings. When Patty takes charge of her life and her future, she is at first ostracized, but soon admired. But her acceptance and friendship from the ladie's in Curl Up and Dye is never changing.
Sharon Sala gives us a fast paced, witty novella with Count Your Blessings. Count Your Blessings is a novella about change, hope and new beginnings. Patty demonstrates well that you can either curl up and cry, or move on to greater adventures when your life takes an unexpected turn. Patty unexpectedly turns out to be someone others can learn from...ok, not from everything she did, but who wouldn't want to do what she did if given the opportunity?

I think I just found a new favorite author. Loved the characters and their interactions with each other. Parts of the story made me laugh out loud - and I was on the bus!

4.5 stars – rounded
From the blurb, I was expecting a story that carried the feel of Steel Magnolias, with the southern overlay,
a hair salon being the heartbeat where worries and gossip are shared equally, with a few quirky moments from
characters to enhance the story. What I got, despite the abbreviated length of this book was so much more:
depth and heart and soul-searching that introduce the town and people of Blessings, Georgia as viewed
through the catalyst of a simple appointment at the hair salon.
Patty June is the preacher’s wife, and in the middle of a small personal crisis, coming face to face with her
husband’s mistress at the Curl Up and Dye. It doesn’t go well (hilariously so) as Patty June decides enough is
enough, and takes out her frustration with her husband’s infidelity on Bobette, his mistress. Ruby (the owner),
Vesta and Velma (twin hairdressers) and Mabel, the manicurist have a front row seat to the goings-on, and are
first in line for the recap after the fact.
Patty June doesn’t necessarily come off well in terms of town approval after her meltdown, but the shockwaves
her explosion has caused for all the men in town is hilarious. With an offhanded remark about another man’s
faithlessness, and plenty of characters who behave in slightly over the top ways that are actually quite normal
for a small town story, the pages flip by.
You’ll want to savor this story, laugh often and dive right into the next. The prequel to The Curl Up & Dye,
you’ll want to grab that just as I did to enjoy Sala’s writing and the town of Blessings.
I received an eArc copy of the title from the publisher via NetGalley for purpose of honest review. I was not
compensated for this review: all conclusions are my own responsibility.
