A great read by Judith Ivey

Judith Ivey brings all the characters to life in an amazing performance. Not as sassy as the Ya-Ya's, but more "homespun" like Fannie Flagg's stories.
Having been to New Orleans before, the story takes the reader to many popular attractions I enjoyed revisiting.
I would definitely seek out more Judith Ivey reads and will continue to read Rebecca Wells without considering other reviewers' comments.

Wonderful!

This was a great listen. I am a true Southerner, born and raised and lived in the South all my life. The story was so true to the South and the narration was the best southern accent I have ever heard on audible books by not being phony or over-exaggerated.

Absolutely Fabulous!
