Damn it, where’s my ice cream?

Written by their leader Jill Conner Browne, this book is meant to be a
humorous guide to the life philosophies of the Sweet Potato Queens; a group of
Southern Belles from Jackson, Mississippi who make their annual appearance
during the Jackson St. Patrick’s Day parade since the 1980s. This group of sassy women, dubbed as the only
female drag queens that they know of by Browne try to live life with gusto and
purpose.
When I started this book I was ready to have a good time. I was looking for a light, easy read with a
high entertainment factor for the weekend, however, it never happened. After a slow start I tried to keep the faith,
but by page 65 my faith dwindled down to nothing. This book was always on the verge of being
funny, but never crossed the threshold.
I thought with chapter titles like: Men Who May Need Killing, Quite
Frankly or What to Eat When Tragedy Strikes, I was in for treat, but I never
was satisfied. I wanted an ice cream
sundae, but all I got was the bowl!
