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

We're Just Like You, Only Prettier: Confessions of a Tarnished Southern Belle
reviewed Not as funny as one of her other books, but still snort-worthy on + 43 more book reviews


While this precursor to "Stop Dressing Your Six-Year-Old Like a Skank" is not as funny as that title, there are still many snort-worthy, laugh-out-loud moments in this book. Her take on our modern society is dead-on accurate. What makes her writing so good is that you really want to be this woman's friend. At least, I do. Hanging out drinking sweet tea with Celia while she clues this Yankee in to the cultural minutiae of Southern life? You bet. Sign me up.
