Okay read. Mostly I don’t think it was a great fit for me. I picked up the audiobook from the library because I was looking for a short book and have a guilty pleasure for reading books written by famous people who didn’t get famous by writing books.

Basically, this book covers how to do things in a vaguely “southern” way. After reading this book, I realized I have no interest in “the south” (the cooking, parties, decor, etc.), hence the not-so-great fit. While the book was well-written, it just didn’t really interest me. 

Good book for those looking for some basic “southern” recipes, holiday ideas, and brief how-to for throwing various parties and such. The book also had a great upbeat feel to it with various life lessons along the way.

The audiobook also comes with a pdf on the first disc of the pictures and recipes.
