review 1: A simple, sweet story of the true love and respect often found between besties. It reminded me of Mayberry R.FD., Miss Helen, and Aunt Bee. Not a whole lot I could relate to as the perspectives were so 1950-ish, however it would be fun to discuss at a senior center...bet the older gals would find it saucy and adventurous. Looking forward to discussing at our book club retreat in Lake Geneva this weekend. Can't imagine the discussion will last longer than the first bottle of wine, however we are pairing it with the classic, Arsenic and Old Lace. As a note: I love my fellow bibliophiles, so their husbands better always behave...wink.
review 2: When I started this book I found it totally refreshing. Having older heroines was delightful though I wasn't particu... morelarly taken with their names and how they came about. A little too "old southern religion" for me. But I adored the characters. And then the judge came into the mix and seemed to spoil the flow of the story. Miss Sweet became unrealistically timid. I can't imagine anyone with the support she had turning into such a doormat. And there were just too many tears! I kept wanting these gals to buck up and take charge and quit crying. Also didn't see anything redeeming about the judge at all. Yes, he was the villain, but most villains have a soft side that peeks out once in a while. But I would read more of this author's works, in fact, I think I have! less
