I simply did not like this book. I thought it was very poorly written. The author made it seem like all women from the South are "witches" and think that they are better than everyone else. I kept reading trying to find something that could possibly be construed as funny and could not find anything. (I truly hope that Browne was trying for funny. If she was serious, heaven help us!) None of the characters in the book could have given advice on spitting let alone something as profound as love. Their outfits were horrible and tacky. Every man should be offended at how they dress because it implies that all men think of are big breasts and big butts. Does Browne honestly think that all men are totally brainless and sex-crazed? As far as I was concerned, this book was a waste of time and paper. I want back the time I lost reading it. You realize that I won't be reading any of the sequels. My time is too precious!

Greatest Love Advice EVER
This was a great book. It had me laughing the entire time I read it. My stepmom gave it to me after she read it and soon after reading it I gave my copy to a friend to read. I've also given the book to friends for birthdays and holidays. While written in a comical tone, and some advice may not be the best, there are pieces every girl should keep in mind, such as Men are likes cars, they're making new models all the time, no need to keep a bad around!
