Product Description

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?

Stranded at an airport, laughed out loud, 2008-07-08
Rarely have I enjoyed a contemporary novel as much as I enjoyed this one. I lived briefly in the South, and can totally relate to everything.
Fun read! Made me forget about my flight being delayed.

We're Just Like You Only Prettier, 2008-06-10
Hands down this book is the funniest book I've ever read in my 68 years. You might need to be from the south to understand the humor, but it is priceless. I have sent six books to friends, and they love it as well. I truly laughed out loud.

We're just like you, only prettier!, 2008-05-15
Classic Celia Rivenbark! She is intelligent, irreverent, and very funny - the kind of writer who makes you thankful you know how to read! As for this book, if you don't see somebody you know in these pages, you're not from the South.

Not what I'd hoped for, 2008-04-24
When I bought this book, I was looking for quality anecdotes with humor sprinkled throughout. However, while some content was mildly amusing, it all seemed a little forced. She is trying too hard to be funny and it does not come off as genuine. It is not what I had hoped for.
