My First Five Husbands... And the Ones Who Got Away by Rue McClanahan

5.0

Oh, I loved this book! I felt like I was having coffee with Rue McClanahan the whole time I was reading it. I could hear her telling me these stories, in her Blanche Devereaux voice. (Note: if you listen to some interviews with her, she doesn't actually sound like Blanche... Blanche was from Atlanta and Rue was from Oklahoma, so she had to fake that southern accent.) She's self-deprecating, she's honest, she tells you exactly what mistakes she made, and she even tells you when another blunder is coming up so you can brace yourself. Her advice to women everywhere: When a man proposes, it really is a viable option to say, "Let me think this over!" Good tip. ;) I really wish she was still alive. I regret that I never had coffee with Rue in real life.
