does some of the content not hold up to 2023 standards, sure? but I did still enjoy it

Since I grew up in a small Southern town, I was predisposed to love this book. I can't help myself. My favorite element of it is the small-town newspaper gossip columns that STILL run in most of the tiny newspapers I know. you have to read between the lines on these excerpts, but it is definitely not too hard...the author makes sure of that.

The only problem with this book is that it makes me crave fried chicken, sweet tea, buttery grits, fried okra, fried tomatoes, creamed corn, cobbler, etc.etc.etc...

Finished in a little over a day. Laughed multiple times throughout the read. Many heartwarming, loving moments. Visually beautiful descriptions of cities and life in different decades. Brought to tears in the last few pages. Aside from the minor date continuities, this novel was perfect to me. I wish I could read it for the first time again. My heart feels full.
