I have been a Fannie Flagg fan for years. When I saw this new book, I jumped at the chance to read it. I didn’t take the time to read the book blurb. It took me by surprise that this was a book of short stories.
The stories were about regular people, some a little bit quirky, most of them dealing with an issue in their lives. Some stories were only 2-3 pages long, some a bit longer. A few seemed pointless. And, a few were interesting. The stories did not seem connected but a few of the characters reappeared in different stories.
It was just an ok read. I would definitely read another novel by Ms Flagg but, these short stories just didn’t appeal to me. Maybe it was because I didn’t realize that was what it was.
I loved the cover!
Thank you to NetGalley and the Publisher for the Advance Readers Copy.

Yes, well… Flagg does write nicely, but I think she needs the longer forms to really bring out her genius.
