In 1999, Jill Conner Browne, royal boss of Jackson, Mississippi's own glorious Sweet Potato Queens, introduced them to the world in the hilarious bestseller The Sweet Potato Queen's Book of Love (which contained everything you ever need to know about Love, Life, Men, Marriage, and the importance of Being Prepared). But, fortunately for us, that was not the final chapter in the Queens' splendid saga. The Sweet Potato Queens still have plenty of stuff to say and valuable wisdom to impart about how they went from being Cute Girls to Fabulous Women, including:

Maybe not quite as funny as her first book, but then all sequels suffer from that. Still, there were times I laughed till cried.

Same as the previous.....not so funny. Maybe it's me, then again, maybe it's not! ( )

The second book written by Jill Conner Browne, the head Queen of the Sweet Potato Queens. Yet another fun enjoyable read. She refers numerous times back to her original Sweet Potato Queen book which is certainly not a detraction from this one standing alone. She expounds on things like the five types of men a woman needs in her life. Also she has a whole chapter in regards to responses to "The Promise" How men will do anything asked them if there's a reward involved, aka The promise. I'm with the other reviewers was laughing out loud at work during some of the chapters, getting strange looks while I was on break. But let them look it was a darned good book and worth every laugh and strange look I may have gotten. ( )

A very fun, breezy read. I kept laughing out loud and scaring my husband while I was reading it. I feel bad for the people who have had any contact with me recently, because I've probably found a way to work one of these stories into the conversation. Read it if you're in the mood for a good laugh, sort of at the expense of men. It's all in good fun though. ( )

I'm not sure why I like this book, but I do. It's the whole Southern Belle mystique - the attitude of a woman who will not suffer fools gladly, but who will look prettiest when she's telling them off/biting her tongue for now so she can share the episode with her girlfriends later. That and the whole ideal of feminine camaraderie they embody. In real life, these guys are probably closer to a Southern Red Hat Society. But it's a funny, light read. ( )
