Publisher's Description:

Meet Maggie Fortenberry, a still pleasing former Miss Alabama. To others, Maggies hold up seems most perfectshes lovely, charming, as well as a successful genuine estate agent during Red Mountain Realty. Still, Maggie cant help though consternation how she wound up in her present condition. She had been upon her hopeful way to apropos Miss America as well as realizing her childhood dream of sometime vital in a single of a elegant old homes upon tip of Red Mountain, with a adoring husband as well as a 2.5 children, though then something astonishing happened as well as changed everything.

Maggie graduated during a tip of her category during charm school, can fold a napkin in more than forty-eight opposite ways, as well as can come in as well as exit a car gracefully, though all a finesse in a universe cannot help her now. Since a legendary genuine estate hustler Hazel Whisenknott, dear founder of Red Mountain Realty, died 5 years ago, commercial operation has gone from bad to worseand a future isnt seeking most better. But only when things appear utterly hopeless, Maggie unexpected comes up with a perfect devise to compromise it all.

As Maggie prepares to put her devise into action, you encounter a expel of high-spirited characters around her. To Brenda Peoples, Maggies best crony as well as genuine estate partner, Maggies hold up seems easy as pie. Slender Maggie doesnt have to be concerned about her figure, or about her Weight Watchers sponsor catching her during a Krispy Kreme doughnut shop. And Ethel Clipp, Red Mountains really old as well as grouchy bureau physical education instructor with a splendid purple hair, thinks a u! niverse of Maggie though has positively nothing good to contend about their opposition Babs The Beast of Birmingham Bingington, a unethical estate agent who hates Maggie as well as is determined to put her out of business.


My Opinion:

I Still Dream About You is a southern novel about Maggie, a former beauty queen (and not only any beauty queen, though Miss Alabama). Her hold up has not incited out during all similar to she suppose it would be, as well as as she evaluates her hold up she comes to a end which a solution to all her problems is to end her life. (This isn't unequivocally a spoiler given it happens really early in a book.)

Maggie is really impersonal about her decision as well as sets out to complete her skeleton in an ordered manner. As you examination her thoughts about her hold up as well as a sorrows, her struggles with worry, as well as her quirky oddities, you was pulled between reactions of suffering as well as laughter. Maggie's antics are certainly comical in a lot of ways, though then you would recollect a earnest of what she was planning to do as well as you would feel guilty for anticipating amusement in it.

You would think which a book in which a main impression was considering self-murder would be gloomy as well as depressing, though a author keeps a great change between a earnest of Maggie's decision as well as a amusement entailed in her skeleton to repair all to her liking. you think a only issue which some people competence have with this book is a juncture of a amusement as well as a abhorrence of suicide. However, you think which Maggie is presented as a realistically troubled character, as well as a play of this book comes from being able to see which Maggie isn't unequivocally as private as she thinks she is. The reader is allowed to see things which are going upon which Maggie doesn't know about, as well as will base for Maggie to have a right decisions so which she can discover only how great her hold up can be.

The ! story ad ditionally includes a good brew of delegate characters, especially Hazel Whisenknott, a defunct owners of a genuine estate company which Maggie works for. Hazel, who was charismatic, engaging, as well as kind, sealed every understanding with her trademark statement, "Close enough!" Even though Hazel has already upheld divided by a commencement of a book, you see sufficient of her by flashbacks to have her memorable. When a impression is indeed vivid to me you can see as well as listen to them in my head, as well as Hazel's impression upheld which test with drifting colors. There have been multiform times in a past week when you have been you do something which reminds me of Hazel, as well as you will see her in my mind's eye, pounding her fist as well as exclaiming, "Close enough!" It's as if it's a genuine mental recall as well as not only a single examination from a book, as well as which to me is a mark of great writing.

The other delegate characters had charm, though they didn't capture my aptitude in a same way. As distant as a delegate storyline in which Maggie researches a poser surrounding a original owners of a oldest as well as nicest residence in town, it was engaging though you didn't care utterly as most about it as you did a main storyline. It was a single of those subplots which you could take or leave, as well as it unequivocally could have been private from a story but any one noticing.

I suggest you Still Dream About You to those who are fans of southern fiction or those who similar to Fannie Flagg's writing.

Rating: 4/5
