by Fannie Flagg
Haven't read a Fannie Flagg book in a long time. This one was great. It takes place in modern day Birmingham. The main character is Maggie... she's a former Miss Alabama from the days of civil rights. She's in her 60's now and she's planning to kill herself. She's a very prim and proper southern lady... always caring what other people think. She never got married. Passed on several opportunities because she was going to NYC to be a famous model. That didn't happen and now she's back in Birmingham, selling real estate. Now she's tired of caring about what everyone thinks. Plus, her boss and best friend died suddenly several years earlier and she's just having a hard time with out her.
She picks the day twice... closes her bank account, gives away all her clothes. She has it all planned out, but something always seems to happen to delay her leaving, until finally she decides she doesn't really want to leave. She wants to live!! And it's a good thing she does! Want to know why?? Read the book!
4 out of 5 stars.
