- Reviewed in the United States on October 16, 2024This was about Lulu and Ella. They were best friends. When they graduated high school they went to California for a few days. They both had feelings for each other but something changed when they came back and Ella left and moved to a big city and she was an OBGYN doctor. She was married to a woman that she didn’t love. Her mother set them up. The only way she could get out of the marriage is if her wife had an affair. She ended up catching her with her business partner on her birthday. She stood there and called her lawyer. She ended up going back to Sulphur Bluff where she was from and she ran into Lulu. All her feelings came back with a quickness. Lulu was dating Freddy. He was a jerk. He always put her down. She was a little on the heavier side. She didn’t love Freddy but she was stuck with him because he got her pregnant. Things got worse for her through the pregnancy and she got enough nerve to break up with him and she put the baby up for adoption. This was a good book. I can’t wait to read more from this author. Hopefully there will be a continuation of this story.

THIS IS NOT A ROMANCE!!!
There is no HEA or HFN. I don’t actually know what to categorize this.
The premise of this book was one that immediately had me like, “oh yeah! I’m reading this.” As a bi woman, I love reading bi representation in romance.
The blurb was superb. That first sentence, ahoot that first page was phenomenal!!! A definite attention grabber! As a Mississippi girl, the imagery was so spot on it made me laugh so hard I cried for a few minutes.
After that it fell flat for me. I kept reading, and there were definitely some great elements, overall it was not what I expected.
The domestic violence, the whole relationship between everyone was very problematic. I don’t want to spoil it or come across as too harsh so I’m going to end it there.
I’m glad she made the choice she did in the end for the baby.
I hope that scumbag gets what’s coming to him.
I hope everyone involved gets therapy and heals.
I was given the opportunity to read this and I want to say thanks and to gush about the art on the pages, it is so beautiful.

Bad Idea Lane mixes a cowboy romance with a sapphic love story that will keep you guessing until the end. I have strong feelings for these characters, most of them positive. I am sure once this book falls into your hands, you’ll know exactly what I am talking about. Krista mixes her love of “Waitress,” with her love of writing to give readers this beauty.
Krista gave me the opportunity to edit her work when I was just getting started. I am so grateful that she did. She has been one of my biggest cheerleaders as I have been getting my name out there. Her constant support and encouragement has been so incredible, and I am so so thankful to her!
Make sure to add this to your Amazon pre-order list! You will not be disappointed the day this shows up on your Kindle or front door. I can’t wait for you to meet Lu, Ella, and Freddy.

- Reviewed in the United States on August 12, 2024Well this wasn’t anything like I was expecting but it was still a good read. It covers a lot of heavy topics and the one MFC goes through a good amount of bad things but in the end she seems happy. It wasn’t what I was expecting but it was still a pretty good read. Definitely Mind Your Triggers

Bad Idea Lane is the first book I've read by Krista Renne, this book was not what i was expecting. I really enjoyed reading this book, I feel it helps the reader relate more to the story. A lot of the readers that pick to read this book, would realize that they can connect in one way or another with Lulu and Ella. We all go through high and lows in our lives, that help us become a better person for ourselves and for those that we love.
If you haven't read Bad Idea Lane, it should be on your TBR list, this was an Incredible and truly a beautifully written story.
Can’t wait to read more by Krista Renee!!!

- Reviewed in the United States on July 26, 2024Incredible book! I absolutely loved the plot. It's truly a beautifully written book.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 26, 2024Such a great story. Lulu is such a strong young woman. You see her grow on page as the story progresses and by the end of it you can't help but feel proud of the person she's become. Ella, on the other hand, is like a roller coaster. She starts strong but the mistakes made along the way make her digress, only to return stronger than ever and more in love with Lu than when they first started. The things they go through at the hands of Freddy then becomes the catalyst that pushes them towards that growth but ultimately, despite the mistakes they made, their love for each other and the family that surrounds them is what brings them out of the whole they found themselves in. Their relationship, their romance, the spice... their story was excellently put to paper and I can't wait to see what they get up to next.
