I fully recognize that the title of this novel makes it sound quite ridiculous so I implore you, fair reader, to not judge this one on the title. Much of this novel sounds familiar: five neighborhood housewives start a book club in the 1960s and the book follows them through the subsequent decades of motherhood, bad marriages (seriously, terrible husbands), and finding work after the SAHM (stay at home mom) years, and yet, I couldn't wait to find out what happened next. A LOT happens. This one comes highly recommended from my book club (though we may have been partial to a group of women who could keep a book club together for over 30 years). If you are looking for a fun, light read, I really enjoyed this one.
