Grace Helena Walz is fast becoming one of my favorite authors! Her books draw you in, grab your heart and don't let go until the very end. This one is based around an MLM company that takes over a town, dividing friends and causing issues with their products. It is the story of Delilah and how your chosen family ends up being there for you more than your blood family. Delilah and her 4 childhood friends share a bond that threatens to unravel at the hands of the MLM, but survives to become even stronger in the face of the adversity. What a great story, I read it in a day. Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the ARC.

This was a heartwarming story about the power of friendship and choosing bravery even when its difficult. I loved the characters and their development and growth. The plot was well-paced and captivating from start to finish. I highly recommend this clean and wholesome read. Many thanks to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for the advanced copy of the book.

This one I read on one sitting.This was a good one, my mom, so the all kinds of mlm products back in the day.So i'm down for any kind of story about them just because I know how they can be. Our main girl Delilah, her and her 4 best friends. They call themselves the 5. They've been best friends since they were in elementary school. They are more. It's like Delilah's chosen family as she's got lots. I have issues with her own mom, dad and sister. She's always trying to keep the peace and make it nice. But it's never enough it seems, They live in a town outside of town. Atlanta called Pearl - all of the girls in the five are different-- Delilah it teaches the two year old class at the local preschool and by all accounts.She's amazing at it.But her real love is making soaps that she sells at the farmer's market on the weekends, life is just lifeing when all of a sudden Peach Pit parties start popping up all over hosted by the Darlings ( which is how they refer to themselves whence they sign up and start selling) delilah is skeptical of this new a phenomenon in town, especially after one of the Mother's complains of it, burning her lips. But the problem is, her best friend. Betsy one of the five, was one of the first in on peach pit and one of thr most loyal- delilah tries to find out about the company. But it's a very secretive, not a whole lot on the internet or anywhere really about it. Around this time, the pen pal that she's had since they were in grade school Jasper. It decides to take a break from his globetrotting journalist job and take a month long vacation in pearl, so they could finally meet in person.- who better than to investigate th peach pit business than Jasper - with a little help from her neighbor Mrs Chopra ... They set out to find out the truth about Peach Pit , along the way, there's secrets uncovered, hard feelings,, a romantic feelings., friendships fractured, and a whole lot of other things I won't spoil. But this was a fun reads and it really puts through the harm and the oversaturation that these companies can do- it's a really good book that inserts humor and love and dealing with trauma. And letting go and understanding that your chosen family is sometimes better than your real family. And that people can make mistakes.And you can start over great. The cast of secondary characters as well love the neighbor. She's my favourite.I would read a whole book about Mrs. Chopra

Thank you.netgalley for the arc in exchange for an honest review

Pretty as a Peach was absolutely hilarious and such a good time! The MLM scheme plot was so well done, and honestly, it’s painfully relatable because I feel like we’ve all either been approached, known someone involved, or witnessed just how wild those MLM worlds can get. Grace Helena Walz nailed the satire while still keeping the story grounded and meaningful.

I loved the plot and especially the romance between Delilah and Jasper. It was sweet, charming, and the perfect complement to the bigger story. But my favorite part might have been all the women and their friendships with Delilah. The female relationships felt real, messy, supportive, and full of heart.

This book is full of Southern charm, humor, and warmth, with just the right amount of romance woven in. It’s funny, thoughtful, and incredibly relatable, especially for anyone who’s ever struggled with speaking up or keeping the peace and of course, those darn MLMs we all know well.

A great read if you love Southern fiction, strong female friendships, and need a laugh with a solid plot and some romance too! 🍑✨

Thank you to NetGalley, Grace Helena Walz, and Thomas Nelson Fiction for the eARC of this book.

This cover caught my eye in a second! But the book was absolutely phenomenal!!! I am absolutely recommending this to my book club.

Delilah has never quite fit in with her family, but she is sure she has an unbreakable bond with her four childhood friends. But that all could change when a new cosmetics company arrives in town, catching the interest of two friends and threatening Delilah's small soap making company. Engaging story about friends, family and learning to speak up for yourself.

I adored this novel full of small town, southern charm.

It’s a story of friendship and family.

Delilah has always wanted to run her own company using all natural products. She is currently a pre-school teacher and uses the farmers market to sell soaps.

She has found childhood friends she has spent years together even as they each have busy lives and they have always supported each other in good and bad times.

One day at the farmers market a new competitor arrives pedaling similar products.

As some of her friends start using the competitor’s product, things change as an allergic reaction of one of their own puts them in the hospital.
At in family and friendship drama and some romance its time to grab your favorite drink and settle in.

I loved this sweet story about a small town that is a little bit rom com , women’s fiction combo in the vein of Woodson Harvey .
It was a sweet story that I loved
