Southern Lady Code: Essays by Helen Ellis

2.0

2.5/5

A quick read with some humor, but also some weird fetishization of gay men, a weird essay about rooting for the prosecution at the trial because the prosecutor was her friend (and clearly against the defendant, mocking her apologies and remorse over what she did as "that was some bullshit"), and other stuff. I know her viewpoint as a southern lady who comes from a higher class than the vast majority of those in the south, but even in New York, there is just stuff that she finds as funny and an object of humor that is off-putting.
