Fat Is the New 30: The Sweet Potato Queens' Guide to Coping with (the Crappy Parts Of) Life by Jill Conner Browne

3.0

I liked it but I didn't love it. I've read one other Jill Conner Browne book and thought it was HYSTERICAL. This one... not so much. I did enjoy, and will try, many of her recipes. And I agree with her idea of hiring a consultant to delete unfavorable, un-useful and unpleasant "friends" from your life. What I didn't like was her overuse of Southern slang, the drawl, the misspelling of each word. At first it seems charming but after a while it wore thin. There were endless run on sentences and it made finishing the book something of a chore.
