she tells

★★½☆☆ 

Verdict: Although grueling at certain points, many parts will have the reader laughing and wondering how any person could be as horny and strange as the protagonist. An "in between" novel, to be taken as a light read amidst two challenging books.

Although Judah Lee Davis is no Dickens, Shakespeare or Fitzgerald, I doubt that any of those men could annotate the life of a nymphomaniac Southerner trying to find a man.

“She Tells All” really does tell, as the life of Madison, a young Alabama native becomes the harrowing story of a sexy, boozy and unnerving women. Each chapter talks about a different love interest, the many ‘romeos’ that have come and gone. I use that term lightly however, as most of these men are dangerous and abusive, slowly ripping at Maddie’s life with cocaine addictions, well endowed privates and horrible teeth.

“She Tells All” is a story that begins as a fun, light and easy read however it slowly escalates into a strangely written soap opera. Nothing goes right for sad Maddie and the end has such a religious twist that I had to read it over twice to make sure I had understood it correctly. I would suggest the first 3/4 of the book to a fan of tabloids and Gossip Girl, however I did think the ending was a ‘deus ex machina,’ a cop out to finish the story quickly.

One Response to She Tells All

  1. Josh, thank you so much for this review. I’m sorry it took me six months to reply. I’ve been busy sleeping around to get ideas for more stories. Just kidding. I am writing under a new name and going in a different direction that I hope will bring me a little more success, and therefore have let my blog and She Tells All efforts fall to the wayside.

    I LOVED reading this review. Yes, the ending does seem a bit like a quick way out, but it was actually a setup for the sequel, Every Woman’s Hero, which is a hilarious tale about how this promiscuous potty mouthed broad tries to make it as a member of a little southern church. She’s not exactly pot luck dinner material and the “F” bomb is not going over so well now that she’s part of the Jesus Country Club.

    Thanks again for your review! I love indiereader.com!
