SWEET POTATO QUEEN'S FIRST BIG ASS NOVEL

The Sweet Potato Queens were always queens, although, they did recognize that they were special very early in life. Jill, Patsy, Tammy, Mary Bennett and Gerald were the best of friends in high school. One fateful Homecoming Parade, they decided that it was time to show the elite and snooty crowd in their high school a thing or two. Little did they expect that their float featuring the Sweet Potato Queens would attract so much attention. Once a queen, always a queen, so even when the friends part ways after graduation, they still look after one another through triumphs and tragedies, true love and heartbreaks. Only in true Sweet Potato Queen style can booze, comfort food and true friendship conquer any challenge life can bring.

Jill Connor Browne's Sweet Potato Queen books are always hysterical fun and this "novel" was no exception. Jill explains how the famous "promise" got its start and why every SP Queen is named Tammy. As usual, the book is filled with bawdy good humor and light-hearted fun. Every girl dreams of being a Queen and surrounded with friends who will stick with her through thick and thin. This was a quick, fun read.

Rating - 4 stars
