Summary: Good Books, Great Friends, and Life.....
Comment: Meet the women of Freesia Court, the angry housewives eating bons bons. There's Audrey, the sexpot, always showing too much cleavage and leg; Merit, the shy, insecure beauty married to a monster; Faith, who spends every day in fear that her hidden past will be exposed; Slip, the self-assured, political firebrand; and Kari, a women widowed too young with a secret of her own. Join these ladies as they take turns hosting each book club meeting, and travel the often rocky road of life, through marriage and divorce, kids and grandkids, triumphs and disappointments, and all the ups and downs that make life such a grand adventure. And through it all they realize that sharing the love and support of good friends make it all the more worthwhile..... Lorna Lankvik's well paced masterpiece is both poignant and uplifting as it follows the lives of these five women from the late sixties, rocky seventies, the drama of the eighties, and into the nineties. Her entertaining prose is crisp and engaging, filled with witty dialogue, and vivid, laugh-out-loud scenes. But it's her brilliant characterizations that really make this novel dazzle, and Ms Landvik brings each book club member, as well as even the most minor player, boldly to life on the page. Angry Housewives Eating Bons Bons is a sensitive, heartwarming story told with great truth, insight, wisdom, humor, and love, that celebrates the warm and deep friendships that keep us all going through the good times and bad. As Faith tells the reader in the opening prologue: "A few years back, when I finally got smart enough to go to a therapist, she asked me how I had held things together all these years. I didn't take long to come up with an answer. "That's easy. I belong to a book club." Laugh, cry, enjoy!

Summary: Angry Housewives Eating Bon Bons
Comment: As a huge fan of Patty Jane's House of Curl, I had high expectations for Angry Housewives Eating Bon Bons. I love any books that center around a group of women and their friendships. Unfortunately, I was left somewhat disappointed with this novel. It did have its cute moments and it wasn't bad, but I didn't finish the last page loving it, like I did Patty Jane. Each chapter starts out with a different character who is hosting the Angry Housewives book club, lists what book she has selected and the reason it was chosen, which I thought was a cute touch. I think the reason I didn't love it was that none of the characters really grabbed me. Each of the five women had a very distinct personality, and their struggles were ones that I think women everywhere can relate to, but there wasn't anything overly unique about them other then their stereotypes. I don't mind reading something that's been done before, but didn't find anything unique that really grabbed me with any of these women. I still adore Lorna Landvik and will eagerly await anything else she writes. The writing was excellent, I just didn't fall in love with the story.

Summary: Trite is right!
Comment: I got about half way through and flipped to the end. It was not worth the effort to finish. Cute title that did not live up to expectations.
