Angry Housewives Eating Bon Bons - Lorna Landvik

Angry Housewives Eating Bon Bons 

Orginally Reviewed January 29, 2005

Synopsis:
Sometimes life is like a bad waiter—it serves you exactly what you don’t want. The women of Freesia Court have come together at life’s table, fully convinced that there is nothing good coffee, delectable desserts, and a strong shoulder can’t fix. Laughter is the glue that holds them together—the foundation of a book group they call AHEB—Angry Housewives Eating Bon Bons—an unofficial “club” that becomes much more. It becomes a lifeline

My Thoughts:
I really enjoyed this book. Each chapter is told from a different point of view, and the characters are wonderful. I do wish that there would have been a little more talk about the books that they picked for their bookclub, but it didn't make me enjoy the book any less. I would compare this book to something like "The Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood" just because the women in the book are so quirky and they have such a strong friendship. I definitely plan on reading more of Lorna Landvik's work in the future.

Rating: B+
