The Sweet Potato Queens’ Book of Love

by Jill Conner Browne

I almost didn’t make it through the Introduction of this book, because it made the Sweet Potato Queens sound exactly like the stuck up bitches I knew in high school, only older and larger. Maybe that’s all they are. Maybe I didn’t need to know that.

After the intro, I got into the book more, and quite enjoyed it. Conner gives advice on how to get any man to do anything, five men every woman needs in her life, and the best advice her father ever gave her (‘be particular’, which makes a lot of sense, and may have to become one of my mottos). My favorite chapter was on food — a topic particularly close to my heart. The recipes are sinful, but quite yummy.
