This is a one of a kind story of three wives, their aspirations, love and relationships play out in this novel. The book is not for a quick read and may be unfavourable to some readers.

I appreciate your honest feedback about the introduction. It’s understandable that the first chapter may not resonate with everyone. However, I hope the story’s progression and character development will be ultimately engaging one more as it unfolds. Your insights are valuable for improving future stories.

Can't say that I care for the topic or even understand how allowing other men to ogle you topless is the way to ensure your husband won't stare at any other lady. After all, fair play is a thing, and this decision reeks of double standards. Apologies, I didn't find anything appealing in the description and will have to pass the book. Still, congratulations on BOTD!

" Holler Gals: Backwoods to Hollywood " by Noah Bond is a story about three wives whose husbands frequently visit a tavern especially on Friday nights when there are topless dancers performing for the crowd. The three wives do not want their husbands staring any ladies but them. The wives had been friends for years and they renovated an old barn that now had a dance floor, juke box and a great sound system. There was a full bar that added to the entertainment. Fearing their husbands would lose their desires for the them, the wives decided to go to different roadhouses and compete in topless contests. The story takes place in Coal Springs, WV, located in coal country. The book starts a little slow with a history lesson about coal mining. The second chapter gets more interesting as it shifts to the narrator’s life. The Holler Gals are Rachel, Jessie and Amalie and this story is told over 100 chapters and 336 pages. The sample with the author’s twang was excellent. The background of each person was so well written I could visualize the characters. I was amazed that these three women would go to this extreme to keep their husbands focused on them. Lessons to be learned from reading this book are attaining goals, losing one’s inhibitions and daring to be unique. This piques my interest so I would like to read the entire book.

I don't read romance book a lot but your review about the story of three women, their different unique personalities and their boldness to show how unique they are. This get me curious about the story. I like to read the book. Thank you for your review

That's "interesting" how the three women, Rachel, Jessie, and Amalie, went about ensuring that their husbands only have eyes for them. I wonder about the other "interesting" events said to emerge as the story progresses. Thanks for the review!

I am glad that despite the downsides such as the numerous chapters and the introduction that was not catchy, the book still manages to capture one's interest. I have added it to my shelf, and I cannot wait to follow the lives of Amalie, Jessie, and Rachel.
Thank you, @Grace Lee Rose, for the informative review.

Hi @Shagun Chauhan 3, I just read your comments on the official review of "Holler Gals" and I found the book to be so much more than romance. For example, " Holler Gals: Backwoods to Hollywood " by Noah Bond is a story about three wives whose husbands frequently visit a tavern especially on Friday nights when there are topless dancers performing for the crowd. The three wives do not want their husbands staring any ladies but them. The wives had been friends for years and they renovated an old barn that now had a dance floor, juke box and a great sound system. There was a full bar that added to the entertainment. Fearing their husbands would lose their desires for the them, the wives decided to go to different roadhouses and compete in topless contests. The story takes place in Coal Springs, WV, located in coal country. The book starts a little slow with a history lesson about coal mining. The second chapter gets more interesting as it shifts to the narrator’s life. The Holler Gals are Rachel, Jessie and Amalie and this story is told over 100 chapters and 336 pages. The sample with the author’s twang was excellent. The background of each person was so well written I could visualize the characters. I was amazed that these three women would go to this extreme to keep their husbands focused on them. Lessons to be learned from reading this book are attaining goals, losing one’s inhibitions and daring to be unique. This piques my interest so I would like to read the entire book.
