Pre-release Review of 'Southern Lady Code' by Helen Ellis

Publication Date: 16 Apr 19

This book is like listening to your favorite aunt in a quiet restaurant loudly sharing her experiences until you want to melt under the table and not crawl out until they start running the vacuum at the end of the night. Helen is brash, and brutally honest and funny as hell and you will read this book far too fast! She's the lady you roll your eyes at but secretly admire for her forward nature wrapped in Southern charm so sweet that you wouldn't know she was insulting you until she'd long left the room. I adored her brazen approach to life's insults, little and big, and self-depreciating manner. You'll picture at least a half a dozen actresses playing her (I picture Jessica Lang, Delta Burke and Reese Witherspoon immediately!) but none will come close to the woman herself. Well done, Helen! Bravo!
