Eat, Drink, and Remarry

I ordered this as I knew it would be fun, and Patricia had spoken at the literary festival here in Charleston. Plus, I’ll admit it: I always love a rich person memoir! I was not prepared for how much I would enjoy it! I have dipped in and out of Southern Charm to be a supportive friend at times, but it is not my thing–too much drama. I expected this book to be a funny memoir from an eccentric older woman who married very well. I fear I underestimated her! The book is so interesting. She’s had an incredible life (and career) before the show. I loved learning about her background in academia and the art world (she has some truly wild stories, especially one about Roy Cohn), her upbringing and family life, all of it. I gobbled it up! My only gripe is that I chose to listen to this, and she didn’t narrate. Otherwise, it’s perfect! A really fun read, but also wow: I didn’t realize what an impressive person she is.
