"Silliness, not seriousness"
Eh. Women are far more than shallow sex objects. There are certainly some giggles in this title but it is not at all a serious tome of empowerment.
If you haven't read about this book, read other reviews, or had a friend tell you about it then I must start out with THIS BOOK IS NOT RATED G!
Now that the rating is out of the way, if this book is read with the thought that it is only entertainment and not a how-to guide, then laugh away.
For a real life how-to for beauty, follow Audrey Hepburn in her quote, "For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others; for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness; and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone."
On a positive note, there is nothing sillier than a gaggle of girls. This book is about said gaggle.
"Love this!"
There really is something special about being a Southern Woman and Jill Conner Browne does a great job in describing the life style! I now want to become a Sweet Potato Queen or start my own chapter!
It reminded me of the Ya Ya Sisterhood in the description of positive female relationships that are loving and supportive.
This was my first one but not my last.
Always bring food...

"Some might love it! I couldn't finish it."
The narration was fantastic, but I never found a story in it. I kept listening and waiting to get to the story... but it never came. It's possible I misunderstood what the book was about, but it was more like a southern guidebook than a novel. I can't recommend it for a first time with the Sweet Potato Queen's.
"made for older women"
unless you are around 40 or more i don't think you'd really enjoy this book. I told my mom to read it.
"I was looking forward to listening to this one..."
however, I found the narrative boring, it totally ruined the book for me. I found myself zoning out when I was listening to Jill's voice, she didn't have any character at all. The comedy is definitely there, it is the monotone that left me cold. Please, Jill, next time, leave it to a professional.
"great book, poor narration"
Great book, poor narration. As others have noted, the author's self-narration is monotone and often difficult to hear. Knowing and loving the hard copy book & others by this author, I was very surprised by her lackluster delivery.
The book, however, is absolutely wonderful, both touching and hilarious. Highly recommended in hard-copy book form
"This book will knock you nekkid"
Triumphant, thrilling, gut spliting laughter and heart. Read all books by this sequined goddess
"Sweet Potato Queen book of love"
Hilarious as usual! Loved that the author was the one reading! Great for all the girlfriends in your life!
"SPQ hilarious"
This is one of the best "reads" in the humor division I have heard. Jill's reading of her own work lends another dimension to the humor.
Well written in a conversational style that would make Shakespeare proud, Jill has captured the humor of everday happenings.
This is a gotta' have book.
