Book Reviews of We're Just Like You, Only Prettier: Confessions of a Tarnished Southern Belle
Book Review: Good ol' Southern Fun
Summary: 4 Stars
I read We're Just Like You, Only Prettier because it came recommended to me after reading Laurie Notaro's books. This one did not disappoint. Rivenbark's collection of essays are hilarious and honest. Rivenbark is not your prim and proper Southern belle, nor does she try to hide this fact. She's witty and downright funny. I loved the story "And What Did You Have For Breakfast, Dear?" as well as "Never Saw `Em Before in My Life." I couldn't stop laughing out loud when I read those. The one I did not like? The one about how the Sopranos could not survive in the South.

Summary of We're Just Like You, Only Prettier: Confessions of a Tarnished Southern Belle
Why couldn't the Sopranos survive living down South? Simple. You can't shoot a guy full of holes after eating chicken and pastry, spoon bread, okra, and tomatoes.
What does a Southern woman consider grounds for divorce? When daddy takes the kids out in public dressed in their pajama tops and Tweety Bird swim socks. Again.
What is the Southern woman's opinion of a new "fat virus" theory? Bring it on! We've got a lot of skinny friends we need to sneeze on.
In this wickedly funny follow-up to her bestselling novel Bless Your Heart, Tramp, Celia Rivenbark welcomes you, once again, to the South she loves, the land of "Mama and them," "precious and dahlin'," and mommies who mow. Y'all come back now, you hear?
