"What a riot! That Latisha is a hoot - glad she showed up again. Interesting new characters in the fashion show. My only disappointment is that Hazel Marie has not yet opened her own beauty school - maybe in a future book...What suspense with Sam and her and their marriage. Another great read, followed immediately by the next book which I had already thank goodness! Miss Julia's complexes about Sam and her relationship are interesting to navigate with her. An intriguing yet believable character, in both senses of the word!"

" I listened to this one, and it's comical. All the Miss Julia books are light and funny, and this was no exception. The narrator did a really nice job, too, which always makes the audio books stand out. "

" I love this series. Entertaining, light reading. "

" Interesting, but not as good as other Miss Julia books. "
— Lori, 2/11/2014 -
" I loved this book, and love this series. Was looking for something light and quick before my next book club reads come in. Read it in two short afternoons. The characters are enjoyable, very southern, and are pleasant. "
— Carol, 2/7/2014 -
" Southern women take on the task of a beauty pagent to earn money for the sheriff's department. I kind of got bored. Stopped reading the book. Half way through. "

" Best of the series so far!!! REALLY enjoyed this one!!!! "
— Dawn, 1/27/2014 -
" I'm currently listening to this one but don't see the CD's listed. I have to admit, Miss Julia is working my nerves in this story. She really gets ahead of herself and jumps to all sorts of conclusions with no real evidence to back them up, which could be funny, but for now just comes off as annoying and self-centered. And upon completing the book, I still felt like Miss Julia was just too far out there in over assuming things without the slightest bit of evidence. I felt like if I were Sam, I wouldn't want to put up with her! So far, this one is my least favorite of the series. "
— Katrina, 1/26/2014 -
" This is a delightful book--the sixth in the Miss Julia series. It is a fun read with laugh out loud situations. I highly recommend this book. "
— Madelyn, 1/20/2014 -
" Cute novel. Fun, easy and light. Particularly entertaining for fans of Southern novels. I have read the first Miss Julia book, for a book club a few years back, and found it fun as well. It is probably easy enough to pick up any of the books without having to read the first or the others. "
— Cathy, 1/18/2014 -
" This book is total fluff - but fun fluff. I know lots of people like Miss. Julia, so I enjoyed it. "

" Just a fun read -- nothing that'll move you too much. "
— Tina, 11/28/2013 -
" Another good Miss Julia story - this one about a beauty pageant. "
— Jan, 11/19/2013 -
" While I love the Miss Julia books this one made me wonder where the author was going. She made me think Miss Julia was way too paranoid and that wasn't good...other than that I loved it. I hate to give it a "not so great" review but it wasn't my favorite so far. I will keep reading though!!! "
— Diane, 6/27/2013 -
" Fun and entertaining, as always. "
— Kathleen, 11/26/2012 -
" another fun one. Miss julia sure gets herself in a tizzy. Too much thinking and an overactive imagination. "
— Ginger, 10/25/2012 -
" I listened to this in the car and decided if I ever read another of these I'm going to want to read it so I can go faster and not hear every single word. I have read several of these books and they are a nice non stressful read. "
— Ruth, 8/17/2012 -
" Miss Julia grows on my despite my reservations. "

" This book was fun and it made me laugh. I listened to the book on CD, and the reader was excellent. Miss Julia reminds me of a friend of mine, and it is so fun to think about the "proper" way of doing things. "
— Janalyn, 7/2/2012 -
" Funny, I listened to it on CD while coming home from work. Made me laugh and forget about anything stressful that happened during my day. Great light read for the summer or just when you want a light story with larger than life characters. "
— Whitney, 6/11/2012 -
" This was first book I read of this series and I loved it! Now have read everything about Miss Julia, I think, and am now ready for the next book in the series to be published. "

" I love Miss Julia. She makes me laugh outloud. "

" I am pretty sure this is the dumbest book I have ever read. Why did I keep reading???? Because it had to get more interesting. Oops... No...I was wrong. "
— Virginia, 1/27/2012 -
" Thought it was a mystery, but it wasn't.... An amusing read. "
— Frank, 12/3/2011 -
" This is a fun read. It is part of a series... I think this is #6 in the line. I haven't read any of the others but plan to do so, soon. If you want a good escape with a bit of a chuckle, choose this one. "
— Nancy, 5/28/2011 -
" this book was ok. It had quite a few references to sex that I didn't appreciate but it was passable. I read it for the library book club. "

" I thought that this would be a fun, Southern lady send off. And it really, really tried to be. Instead it was grating and predictable. I finished it, but I didn't want to. And, of course, the plot was so blandly predictable that I didn't see the point once I did. "
— Christina, 11/23/2009 -
" So funny to see this proper southern lady get herself in all kinds of scrapes as she tries to solve everyones problems. "
