I just finished Angry Housewives Eating Bon Bons by Lorna Landvik. The title and cover of this book almost made me not want to read it, but I've learned you shouldn't judge a book by it's cover. This was the story of a group of housewives with a 30 year book club and friendship. I recently read Divine Secrets of the Ya Ya Sisterhood and this book reminded me of it, but I liked this one way better.
Even though the books main character is Faith, we learn a lot about all the characters/book club members. I loved seeing how their personal lives affected the books they picked. I also really liked how all the characters were tied together over the 30 years. I think this book club was really true to real life book clubs. You might talk about the book for a few minutes, but then the rest of the time is spent socializing over personal things. My only complaint is that in some chapters the book that was picked wasn't mentioned at all.
If you liked Ya-Ya Sisterhood you should definitely check out Bon Bons!
