Helpful Score: 1


Sissy LeBlanc is a wild little character who, as a woman with limited resources within a small southern town, must come to terms with what it is to live by the rules of the Southern Belle Handbook. Though a pleasurable, fast read, the language the author employs is more enjoyable, in my estimation, than most chic lit novels. Despres seems to relish her words and comes up with creative ways to relay and describe familiar situations. The book is a guilty pleasure and a great summer read, as long as you are ready and assured that Sissy LeBlanc is no saint.
