“Fannie Flagg is a national treasure. There is no one like Fannie and there never will be. Her short story collection, Something to Look Forward To, is a high-octane literary road trip of small towns, with their most colorful characters and their juicy antics. Rascals, special agents, oddballs, weather girls, and missing relatives are just a few of the glorious guests at this covered-dish feast. It’s pure Fannie, which means it’s the best there is!”—Adriana Trigiani, New York Times bestselling author of The View from Lake Como
“Something to Look Forward To is a book I looked forward to reading since I am a huge fan of Fannie Flagg’s writing. It’s a wonderful read . . . funny, sad, surprising, and intriguing. Fannie’s characters jump off the page and into your heart. She continues to delight and amaze.”—Carol Burnett, New York Times bestselling author of In Such Good Company
“Charming . . . In these homespun tales, Flagg channels her characters’ fear of change and offers a genuine sense of hope. The author’s fans will love this.”—Publishers Weekly
