True southern women treat everyone the way we want to be treated: with grace and respect -- no matter where they come from or how different from you they may be.
Dorothea taught me to never abide cruelty or injustice. The Golden Rule, she said, applies to everyone. Make sure you wear a nice outfit.
I just don't do it. I think you gotta get up, you gotta work out, and then you gotta get dressed in a real, proper outfit by ten in the morning. A quick 'no' is better than a long 'maybe. What's more, it's essential to show up if you say you will Being tired just isn't a good enough excuse. Make an effort! Jul 17, Mehrsa rated it liked it. I'm sad I read this because I actually really like Reese and I thought she had more depth. Perhaps she does, but this book does not demonstrate that at all.
It's basically all about southern "manners". It's all "always RSVP" and how to do rollers on your hair and how to do table settings. May 12, Tina rated it really liked it Shelves: library-books. I love watching movies Reese Witherspoon is in, so when I saw she wrote a book I had to read it. I also grow up in the South.
I found this book very funny and I really enjoyed reading it. Aug 03, Lorna rated it really liked it Shelves: american-south , cookbooks , foodies , memoirs , feminism. It was a wonderful change of pace, packed with the wisdom of her grandmother Dorothea, and many wonderful recipes, one I had to save - the iconic black-eyed peas with collard greens for New Years Day celebrations.
Having spent a lot of time traveling through the South in recent years, I enjoyed this book. True southern women treat everyone the way we want to be treated: with grace and respect--no matter where they come from or how different from you they may be. I love how this little thing that many had in their purses became a powerful political symbol.

This book is a little bit of everything: memoir, recipes, and southern lifestyle guide. The photography is stunning, and I enjoyed the bits of 'memoir' of Reese's childhood growing up in the south and the family values of her grandparents and parents.
The lifestyle advice portions felt at times a bit superficial and perhaps a bit aristocratic, but Reese is very genuine, caring, and gives back, so she's able to pull this off in a sweet way. It's a lovely ode to southern lifestyle and culture.

I listened to her read the audiobook, which only took a couple hours. The recipes and tutorials were mediocre at best. View all 3 comments.
This is a sweet and heartfelt love letter to the South with yummy recipes and personal stories thrown in. My opinion of books changes greatly with the mood I'm in so with the current state of affairs, it may not have been best to listen to perky perky perky Reese Witherspoon rattle on about her perfect life and family and all her dinner parties that no one can attend right now or the wonderful recipes for which the stores are currently out of ingredients.
I tried to go with a lighter book, and it certainly is that, but it made me depressed. At a different time I think I'd give this 4 stars as I seri My opinion of books changes greatly with the mood I'm in so with the current state of affairs, it may not have been best to listen to perky perky perky Reese Witherspoon rattle on about her perfect life and family and all her dinner parties that no one can attend right now or the wonderful recipes for which the stores are currently out of ingredients.
But now might not be the best time for that either as it has some very sad parts. Borrowing the audio from the library did not allow me to view the accompanying pdf file of pictures and recipes. Maybe if I can access that on my desktop, my rating will go up. View all 10 comments. This is a charming book that covers everything quintessentially Southern. I do love the design layout and photographs included and enjoyed the hour I spent with it start to finish.
Jan 07, Jami Balmet rated it it was amazing. This book was light, fun, and so cute! Oct 05, Andee rated it it was ok. Why did I buy this book? Cannot stand Reese Witherspoon the hypocritical lying person. That said, this book is precisely what I feared - a bunch of fake bullshit that I would bet a million dollars Reese Witherspoon has no link to at all except for depositing checks into her bank account.
The book is just a substance lacking, shallow project for someone who wants a new hobby. Book, check; cookbook, check this book has mediocre recipes too ; clothing line, check; furniture, unknown; overpriced boutique of stupid crap; probably in the works. This ranks up there with wasting precious moments of your life on a Goop website. If you listen to the audio, be sure to check out the PDF which is full of pretty photos, family recipes, and party playlists.
Apr 23, Donna rated it really liked it Shelves: non-fiction , autobiography-memoir. This was a quick and fun read. I like Reese Witherspoon. She seems sweet and genuine and this memoir showed that BIG time. She is the one actress that my husband insists on seeing her movies on the big screen when they come out.
BTW, Hugh Jackman is mine. She shared her southern experiences and I found that charming. She shared her recipes too. Overall, this was a fun read. Nov 26, Jesse Doogan rated it it was ok Shelves: , audiobook. I like party-throwing! I like folksy wisdom! I like pretty and frivolous things! I listened to this while I baked pies for Thanksgiving more pies than anyone wanted! Before helping to way over-decorate for our small family party! I am telling you, I should have been the target audience!
She also attributes a lot of normal home-maker things to "being a Southern woman. That's just a Southern thing! Which means that every Northern household I've been to must secretly be Southern, I guess.
I don't want her to apologize for her wealth or success, and I know she truly has worked hard, and I'm not taking away from that. I still like RW, but I wish there had been just a little humility mixed into the book, along with the prescriptive instructions on the best and only way to wear makeup and dress.
Oh also, RW reads the audiobook, and does a good job. I was disappointed that she doesn't read the recipes in the book, and instead refers you to the PDF. This might just be a me thing, but I love having recipes read to me in audiobooks. Readers also enjoyed. Biography Memoir. About Reese Witherspoon. Reese Witherspoon.
