Just Don't Call Me Ma'am: How I Ditched the South, Forgot My Manners, and Managed to Survive My Twenties with (Most Of) My Dig

By: Mitchael, Anna

Anna Mitchael is like a lot of the women you know. In fact, she may even be a lot like you. In her fast-moving world, she might be called on as a friend, coworker, daughter, girlfriend, confidante, brat, cynic, or domestic-goddess-in-training. She's willing to juggle pretty much anything that gets thrown her way, but the one label she simply won't embrace is ma'am. Like so many bright-eyed college graduates before her, Mitchael begins her twenties armed with the conviction that the world is hers for the taking. And she discovers that it is, mostly--only no one told her just how often she'd have to pick herself up off the floor along the way. Written for every woman who's experienced the ups and downs of trying to figure out who you're really meant to be, Just Don't Call Me Ma'am is a story of one woman and the choices that add up to be her twentysomething life--and of how sometimes you have to remember where you came from before you can figure out where you're going.

Mitchael is the next Jen Lancaster. She will have you in fits of laughter one page, then she'll take you to a deeply introspective place on the very next. Women everywhere will relate to the ups and downs of the growing up years of our twenties that Mitchael so accurately illustrates.

fun from cover to cover

I LOVED "Just Don't Call Me Ma'am". I couldn't put it down. Anna is such a great writer with great insights. She's very honest with her emotions and she's not afraid to say what we all have felt. Only, she says it in uniquely hilarious and touching ways. It's hard to believe that this is Anna's first book. She really understands how to capture her audience's attention, and keep them engaged from start to finish. I felt like...

Just Don't Call Me Ma'am

I loved this book! I savored every chapter because I didn't want it to end. Anna's sarcasm, wit, and ability to write what most of us are thinking will make you laugh out loud and annoy whoever is sitting closest to you. The author's ability to describe experiences with her family, friends, boyfriends, and co-workers in such detail will take you there and make you wish you could have joined her for a few cocktails after...

Just Don't Call Me Ma'am - Must Read

Just Don't Call Me Ma'am is such a fun and easy read. I read it over a beach vacation and it was the perfect book to keep me entertained. I picked it up every chance I got. I laughed out loud many times and very much identified with Miss Mitchael's struggles and life changes as she navigated through her 20's. Every girl should read this!

Just Don't Call Me Ma'am

I had such a good time reading Just Don't Call Me Ma'am. I found myself nodding my head in agreement more often than I could count (perhaps its has to do with being a Texas native that has also moved away in search of something different). Regardless the book is great for the colorful descriptions of a 20-something singleton's trials and errors. I highly recommend it for a fun and easy read.
