This was the first Fannie Flagg book I've ever read, and I was absolutely captivated by the simple, wholesome story.
Is it cliched, predictable, sugary, and sanitized of the harsher realities of Southern life? You bet your ambrosia salad. But it's such a sweet-natured, lilting tale that it's hard to resist. As soothing as snacking on a quart of ice cream in your jammies over winter break.

A lovely Christmas story, maybe just a little too sweet and easy-resolving to my taste. But I did have my laughs while reading it.

I’m pretty sure I read Fried Green Tomatoes years ago, but I don’t remember it. I think that’s the only other Fannie Flagg book I’ve read. This one was fun! It started off a little slow for me, but once it got going, I enjoyed the story and the characters. I listened to the book, read by the author. That doesn’t always work out well, but Fannie is a great narrator and added a lot to the story. It’s fun hearing how an author really “heard” the characters in her head as she wrote.

This was by far a great book. Once you get started you won't put it down. I read it in one day.

I enjoyed this book much more than I expected to in the beginning. It is definitely not the most well-written book, but the story is sweet and the characters are like-able. Plus, who doesn't love a magical ending every once in a while?
