About this ebook
From Phaedra Parks, breakout star of The Real Housewives of Atlanta, comes a true Southern Belle’s witty, practical, and no-nonsense guide to life.
Who is always perfectly put together and never at a loss for words? Who is professional, courteous, and harder working than anyone else? Whose Christmas cards arrive the day after Thanksgiving, year after year? Y’all know she’s got to be a Southern Belle.
A Southern Belle takes care of herself and makes sure people treat her right. She always gets her way, even if her man thinks it was his idea. (That’s a win for you both.) But, darling, you don’t have to be raised in the South to be the same fun-loving package of looks, charm, and determination that makes a Belle a Belle. That’s what this delightful little book is for!
Ladies, take it from Phaedra Parks, the smart, confident, and always poised star of The Real Housewives of Atlanta. Life as a Belle is simply better—for you and for the people around you. So let’s imagine you’re rocking on the front porch, with a tall glass of sweet tea and a plate of ladyfingers, because Phaedra’s got a thing or two to tell you!

This tells women how to be fake and insincere. She gives at least one negative comment in each chapter about people in the North and looks down on them. If you're looking to improve your manners or polish your lady like mindset, choose another book.

This book enlightened me. I absolutely love it. She is showing us how to throw shade and not be shady at the same time. I compare this book to act like a lady think like a man by Steve Harvey because we'll it is a self help that will more than likely when you a husband. I don't know about keeping one though lol
