You can fix your life. Probably. In theory. If you have ever tried to improve your sleep, eat better, exercise more, become productive, manage your time, organize your life, control your emotions, improve your relationships, or age gracefully —and somehow ended up more confused than when you started —this book may be for you.

Then I probably don't need to tell you that all I can think about is how I'd like to kiss him right now . . . and that is a big NOPE.

Youngblood and Poole talk about the ins and outs of nosy neighbors, sibling rivalry, and why every Southerner worth her salt feels the need to offer advice.
