Summary: Hats off to Haywood Smith...
Comment: I loved this book. I could have done without the four letter words at times and sexual moments, but I loved being a peeker into these ladies friendships and heartaches. I loved how they were all there for each other. I am jealous to not have those kinds of friends. I can't wait to read Queen Bee of Mimosa Branch and look forward to reading more from Haywood Smith!

Summary: The best revenge?
Comment: What fun! Anyone who's been jilted (or knows someone who has) can take vicarious delight in the antics of the members of this Red Hat Club. Friends since high school over thirty years ago, these five Atlanta women are coming into that second rebellious age: They will wear purple (like the poem), will no longer play the nicey-nice little wife, and might even utter "the f word" -- all on the road to personal empowerment. The tone is light and funny, but there is enough of a serious bent to provide food for thought. The emotions and relationships bring home a truth: Many of us need the support of gal pals to be brave enough to be ourselves.
I got a big kick out of the group's Twelve Sacred Traditions -- and the fact that they were referred to by number. Few of us have such explicit rules of friendship, but oh, how many times would like you like to say to blabbermouth friend, "Tradition 4, honey! No telling!" or a nosy one, "Tradition 5: Mind your own business!"? In addition to the discussion questions in the back of the book, reading groups might like to ponder these rules: What written or unwritten rules of friendship do we have and would we adopt these same twelve?

Summary: A poor substitute for the Sweet Potato Queens
Comment: I was very disappointed in what I thought would be a "Sweet Potato Queen" type book. This was a distant wannabe. The writing seemed forced and thus the humor and overall flow were just missing. I agree with the other reviewers re the flat, cardboard cutout characters. Maybe this holds more appeal to someone from Atlanta who can relive their own experiences through it but for a California girl this book totally missed the mark.
