Chick Lit.

This is one of those books, I feel, that is worth sticking with to the end. The start was not so good but things did pick up. It seemed as if it was a 'second wives club' type thing with flashback to high school times but gets much better as the characters develop.

Sending to Cavngrl in the hopes it appeals to her. In any case, feel free to do with the book what you wish.

I haven't read it yet, but looking forward to it. It's been circulating around the book club groups around here, but I've yet to read it.

A cross between Steel Magnolias and Ya Ya Sisterhood--neither of which were my favorite movies. I agree that the book got better as the charachters developed. I almost gave up on it very early, especially with what I felt were some very sly and backhanded racist, political and anti-foreigner comments. The charachters got more developed, but never felt very "real" to me.

Received in the mail a while back but due to computer troubles at home I've not be able to journal it. Sorry!

I loved this book! I requested this book after reading Queen Bee of Mimosa Branch and loved this one as much (or maybe even a little more). This definitely had a "First Wives" feel but was handled in a much more genteel manner. Also, I loved the mingling of the story flashbacks that gave me a feel for why the women were the way that they were. I was tickled to see that there will be another Red Hat Club book out very soon (if not already out!). Thanks for sharing this fun little book with me!

I wasn't impressed with book. I think it was too much like the movie The First Wives Club. The concept of book was good. Having friends as close to you like family.
