Leslie W. (kyyadifan) - , reviewed on 6/5/2014 + 60 more book reviews

The start of the story was quite silly. The characters are ridiculous in what they say and do but once I got past the opening and got heavy into the story, even with some of the ridiculousness still hanging on, I found myself intrigued and didn't want to put it down. The main character of the book, Emily, has moved with her husband to Texas. In order to make friends she attends a "meeting" of a group of local women and these women are...strange. This is where the ridiculousness of the story comes in. The things they say and do are not true to life...and the fact that Emily is pregnant after suffering numerous miscarriages and does some of the things that she does is also unrealistic. If Mrs. Heaberlin had written these women to be more realistic the book would have been outstanding.
