I Still Dream About You by Fannie Flagg

I have been a long time fan of Fannie Flagg and her latest book doesn't disappoint.

Maggie Fortenberry is 60, a former Miss Alabama, and has a problem. She feels that she has nothing to look forward to. in life. She's still pretty but she knows it's a matter of time before that beauty fades, her real estate company is limping along in recession time Birmingham, Alabama. So what does Maggie decide to do? Her solution to all her problems is to commit suicide. There's just one snag to her solution. Ironically, life keeps intruding on Maggie's exit plans. It's all of the "intrusions" that keep her from "leaving" and makes this story a page turner. You keep wondering does she or doesn't she go through with her plans? How will the story end for Maggie and her friends? If you enjoy stories that make you feel like the characters are your own friends or that the author is writing about your hometown then you will be charmed by Fannie Flaggs latest effort.
