Customer Reviews

You don't have to be Southern or a Newlywed to laugh out loud...

Treat yourself to an easy read of Annabelle's fun stories this summer. You'll be glad that you did! She makes the mundane and even annoying adventures in matrimony funny. Enjoy!

Treat yourself to this hysterical read- you will not be sorry!

I had the great pleasure of meeting Annabelle while arranging for her to speak at a spouse function. I knew almost instantly that she was a witty, intelligent woman however nothing prepared me for the real deal. She is downright F-U-N-N-Y and proved to be quite the entertainer. While I am definitely not a newlywed, I truly enjoyed this book and was unable to put it down as I was anxiously awaiting the next fit of laughter. The longer you have been married, the funnier as we have all "been there, done that" at least a time or two. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone! Thank you Annabelle for this literary dose of fun and giggles... I look forward to the next great reading adventure!

laugh out loud

I read this book in the Greensboro, North Carolina airport at 6am while waiting for an 8 am London flight. I was laughing out loud so much that the man beside asked what I was reading and I told him. I ended up reading it out loud, and we both laughed our buns off!

Grace and humor lead the way....

I stumbled upon this book and this author when an unmarried friend invited me to a book signing. I'm a northern-born girl but I've lived in the South for 36 of my 39 years. I'm not in Junior League and I'm terrible about writing thank-you notes (hence I'm not a true Southern girl). But Annabelle Robertson relates marriage with such grace and humor that where you were born matters less than how much sugar is in your sweet tea. She opens up her life and marriage to her readers, noting the obvious struggles all marriages have and then offers guidance on what truly matters. Let's all hope Annabelle Roberston will continue the literary journey and allow us into her life once again, this time to explore the confusing and wonderful world of parenting!

Warning, if you read this book you will burst into uncontrollable laughter

This book is not only for southern girls or newlyweds, but for all who have been or will be in a relationship. Annabelle reminds women that they are not alone in the wedded bliss they find leading up to and following their nuptials. She covers many of the idiosyncrasies you may have been concerned to have discovered about your spouse while the two of you are learning to survive together under one roof. This humor filled book is a definite keeper that you will want to file next to your important manuals and reference books. I couldn't put it down!
