This second book starts with Annette Goode, the main character. She is 35 at the beginning of the book and has finally had contact with the father who abandoned her and her mother 30+ years ago. She finally makes peace with him and her half brothers and sisters. She also finally makes amends with the infamous Rhoda, and readers find out more about her relationship with Pee-Wee. Many of the old characters, such as her mother, ma'dear, Scary Mary, etc. are there to lend support as always. The reader will get to laugh and cry with Annette about some of the new characters such as Jerome, Vinnie, and a little girl who bares a striking resemblance to Annette when she was a child. Annette is so dynamic in the way she takes all of her life experiences and makes the best out of the life that she has been given. And in the end, what's so important is that she still can love others. I guess I love this book, because it is real, and the main character is definitely no victim. She is a survivor.
In "Good Still Don’t Like Ugly" Mary Monroe bridges the gap created in the minds of readers of "God Don't Like Ugly." The reader gets the opportunity to see how Annette has grown and how she deals with things as an adult. Considering her childhood experiences, Annette ends up becoming a mature and somewhat balanced and beautiful human being.
