Synopsis

Jaime Primak Sullivan, outspoken star of Bravo TV’s Jersey Belle, offers no-nonsense Southern-spun advice for navigating life and love with her signature charismatic Jersey charm in this winning fish-out-of-water tale.

Jamie Primak Sullivan, a Jersey-bred, tough-as-nails PR maven—and unlikely transplant in an upscale suburb of Birmingham, Alabama—has spent her entire life crossing the line: whether she’s pushing the boundaries of what proper Southern ladies consider to be “polite behavior” or literally traversing the Mason-Dixon line in the name of love. She isn’t afraid to say what everyone is thinking when it comes to love, sex, friendship, and many other topics that are all-too-often sugar-coated in polite Southern company. But when a meet-cute scenario right out of a Nora Ephron movie upends her life, Jaime finds herself a reluctant “knish out of water,” smack-dab in the Deep South starting a life with her new husband, the perfect Southern gentleman.

In The Southern Education of a Jersey Girl, Jaime shares hard-learned lessons on Southern etiquette, deep-fried foods, college football, and matters of the heart while living in the heart of Dixie, with her quintessential ball-busting, bullsh*t free, and side-splitting Jersey twist.

About this title

About the Author

Jaime Primak Sullivan found fame as the star of Bravo TV’s Jersey Belle and parlayed that exposure into a successful daily web series, #cawfeetawk. A career woman and a mom, Jaime is also the founder and president of Bridge and Tunnel Entertainment, a full-service public relations and strategic marketing agency. After falling in love, Jaime relocated to Mountain Brook, Alabama, where she and her husband are raising three children currently under the age of seven. Somehow, Jaime manages to run all aspects of her various businesses while juggling life as a busy mother, adoring wife, and a (sometimes) reluctantly transplanted Southern belle. She is the author of The Southern Education of a Jersey Girl.

Review

“Jaime shares her formula to adjusting to life way outside of your comfort zone with so much heart and so much laughter; you’ll feel like she’s in your room with a cup of coffee ... and a glass of wine. As a Southern girl, I love Jaime’s fresh take on all things Southern — as a work in progress, I love her take on all things Life. You’ll laugh your ass off, you’ll root for her the whole time, and you’ll be like, COME ON DUDE, JUST KISS HER ALREADY!"  (New York Times bestselling author, Sarah Colonna)

“At times joyfully inspiring and at others, fantastically, cringe-inducingly honest, and always laugh-your-pants-off funny, Jaime sucks you into her alternate universe worlds of North and South in this Southern Sex and the City true tale.  Not only do you never want the book to end, you want her to be your friend, sister, and business partner.”    (Frances Berwick, President NBCUniversal, Lifestyle Networks)

“Hilarious and heartfelt, messy and beautiful —as told by your ball-busting, bullsh*t free, Jersey girlfriend.  Anyone who’s ever felt out of her/his element will love this story of Jaime’s adventures finding friends, family, and faith well below the Mason-Dixon line.”  (Todd Chrisley, star of Chrisley Knows Best)
