Angry Housewives eating Bon Bons is about as predictable of a book as you will ever read.
For example, Slip a staunch feminist, is short masculine and unattractive, while Merit, the abused wife, is beautiful shy and helpless. The only thing that makes this book different than the other novels focused on women's life long friendships is that this friendship is based on a book club which we all know is very popular among woman today.
Despite my critism of the book I did find it enjoyable summer read, engaging but not demanding too much thought or imagination.
