The book was fun. I laughed, I cried, I bit my nails, and then I recommended it to my friends. I hope to be as spunky as Miss Julia when I am her age.

Had several characters - Kind of hard to follow; few went into politics (?) Which I found boring.  I usually love Fannie Flagg but this was not her best book.
