Book Reviews of The Sweet Potato Queens' Book of Love (Running Press Miniature Editions)
Book Review: Best Self-Help Book EVER!
Summary: 5 Stars
How many self-help books have we read as women trying to work on our self-esteem, body image, etc? This was the MOST HELPFUL ONE I have ever read, and it is NOT a self-help book. Might sound a little nuts compared to the other reviews, but it is completely empowering to read about a group of women who are "queens" just because they SAY SO! And, who embrace their "flaws" (meaning they are not Kate Moss on the cover of Vogue) and even flaunt them.
All this is done with comedy, but with a certain universal truth that runs through the novel, right down to near the end of the book where the advice is, if you are down or taking yourself too seriously or need a laugh to put on some trashy lingerie and some really ugly fake teeth (Dr. Bukk's Teef). The book states, "You can wear your Bukk teef and your high heels and your trashy lingerie to the grocery store if you want to, or you can just prance around in them at home and enjoy being a goose all by yourself...We're not interested in an altered state; we're after our True State--unbridled joy." See what I mean?
