The Southern Education of a Jersey Girl
The Southern Education of a Jersey Girl: Adventures in Life and Love in the Heart of Dixie | Jaime Primak Sullivan
8 posts | 8 read | 14 to read
Jaime Primak Sullivan, outspoken star of Bravo TVs Jersey Belle, offers no-nonsense Southern-spun advice for navigating life and love with her signature charismatic Jersey charm in this winning fish-out-of-water tale. Jamie Primak Sullivan, a Jersey-bred, tough-as-nails PR mavenand unlikely transplant in an upscale suburb of Birmingham, Alabamahas spent her entire life crossing the line: whether shes pushing the boundaries of what proper Southern ladies consider to be polite behavior or literally traversing the Mason-Dixon line in the name of love. She isnt afraid to say what everyone is thinking when it comes to love, sex, friendship, and many other topics that are all-too-often sugar-coated in polite Southern company. But when a meet-cute scenario right out of a Nora Ephron movie upends her life, Jaime finds herself a reluctant knish out of water, smack-dab in the Deep South starting a life with her new husband, the perfect Southern gentleman. In The Southern Education of a Jersey Girl, Jaime shares hard-learned lessons on Southern etiquette, deep-fried foods, college football, and matters of the heart while living in the heart of Dixie, with her quintessential ball-busting, bullsh*t free, and side-splitting Jersey twist.

I didn‘t watch her Bravo show but my friend said it was a good book. I must say it took me a a few chapters to get into this memoir but it did get good! I listened to her audio and it was great! Two very different people meeting and their very slow romance story. Jamie tells some funny, some heart warming, and some heart wrenching stories! The last few chapters felt like add ons but didn‘t take away.
I may need my own southern gentleman 😉😝

I was listening to my audio on speaker when my sister walked in. She asked how I understood it; it sounded like the squirrel from Hoodwinked! (Anyone remember that weird movie?) I told her I usually listen faster but hoopla won‘t go faster! 😂
I was unsure about this book at first but it‘s getting better.

#TBRtemptation post 5! Not quite as traumatic as surviving on nothing in the Amazon ?, but... The star of Bravo's "Jersey Belle", she brings brute and direct talk to polite Southern society in Birmingham, Alabama. She talks about Southern etiquette, deep-fried foods, college football, & other all Dixie matters. Makes me think of "My Cousin Vinny" ?. #blameLitsy #blameMrBook ?

A little light reading about a Jersey Girl living in the South. I can identify as a girl from Pennsylvania living in the South plus the show Jersey Belle was a guilty pleasure.

Book 3 complete in the #24in48 #readathon.

Sue Yay, good work! 8y

As a Southern Belle, I had a good laugh over this quote. It's quite true.
