"Angry Housewives Eating Bon Bons" is most likely the best book I've read in a really long time. I loved it. I couldn't put it down. I was so engrossed by all the characters that I had to know what would happen to them as time went on. And, believe me, time goes on in "Angry Housewives Eating Bon Bons" as the book spans 30 years.

"Angry Housewives Eating Bon Bons" tells the stories of the women of Freesia Court who bond together and form a book club. But that's not all they form. Slip, Audrey, Merit, Faith, and Kari form friendships that span more than books. The five are there to help one another through all of life's joys and trials.

The only problem that I initially had with "Angry Housewives Eating Bon Bons" was the narration style. Each chapter is narrated in first person (well, almost), by a different character. It took me a minute to catch on, but when I did, it really helped me gain a better understanding of the characters.

I highly recommend that you pick up a copy of "Angry Housewives Eating Bon Bons" today. It is one of the few books I can remember that made me laugh, cry, read passages out of it to other people, and carry it with me everywhere I went.
