Book Reviews of We're Just Like You, Only Prettier: Confessions of a Tarnished Southern Belle

Book Review: Another Good Southern Writer
Summary: 4 Stars

I enjoyed this book from a new-to-me author. Ms. Rivenbark is a humorist as well as an astute social commentator. She is a southern writer who appeals to folks in any location. No matter where you're from, there's probably someone or many someones in your past that you will recognize in the pages here.

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?
