Maggie is a 60-year-old former Miss Alabama. Most people would say that Maggie has a great life but Maggie would disagree. Life just hasn't turned out the way that she planned. She spent way too many years as the mistress of a married man. She has loved working as a real estate agent but Babs Bingington is trying to shut her down. So, Maggie realizes that ending her life on her own terms makes the most sense. However, life has a funny way of changing Maggie's plans.
Fannie Flagg is one of my all-time favorite authors. Her books just always make you feel good about people and about life. This book was no exception. You couldn't help but love Maggie and you just kept hoping that she wouldn't go through with her plan to kill herself. In spite of being a serious subject, Ms. Flagg managed to keep things light-hearted and funny with plenty of Southern charm. The other characters, especially Hazel and Brenda, were great additions to the book. Can't wait for the next Fannie Flagg book to come out!
Rating - A
