Oddly enough, I haven’t read a lot of books by Fannie Flagg. I have no idea why — I like her ok. Certainly as much as any other southern chick lit writer. I never think to reserve her books. I rarely notice them on the shelf. The last one I read was back in Gainesville, I think… Welcome to the World, Baby Girl.
TW was all proud of herself for getting The All-Girl Filling Station’s Last Reunion for me. I had no idea why she was pleased with herself but I definitely appreciated having it on the shelf when I ran out of books (again) a couple of days ago.
It was cute. A little jarring at first to move between the southern women in Alabama and the Polish women in Wisconsin but after a couple of chapters I was ok with that and laughed quite a lot at Suki’s attempts to see a therapist without the whole small town finding out.
The WASP, (Women Airforce Service Pilots) storyline was nice, too. I saw the final twist coming a mile away but that’s ok, it was a fun read and I might even consider reserving another Fannie Flagg book later this year.
