Funniest book I have read in years

This is a must read for anyone that enjoys a good, funny, southern belle book. Ms. Holton has written a book that should be made into a movie. I hope someone sends the book to someone like Penny Marshall. Can't you see Julia Roberts, Cathy Bates and Bett Midler playing the lead roles?

Laugh out loud hilarious

I have stayed up late tonight to finish this wonderful novel and I have to go work in the morning - I laughed so hard at the hunting scenes that my ribs actually hurt. For anybody who wants to imagine revenge on some not so great husbands or boyfriends - this book will have you cheering for all the wonderful women in this book. I can not wait for the next book from this author.

THE GREATEST SOUTHERN BELL BOOK IN A LONG TIME

This is one that needs to be made into a movie. I can just see this being made into a film, provided that they do not stray from the book. It is a fun read! One of the best books I have read in a LONG time. Looking forward for more from this author.

Hunting trips will never be the same

Eadie's husband has left her for a younger version, Nita discovers that her husband has been unfaithful and Lavonne feels her marriage is slipping away from her. Then they find out that their husband's annual hunting trips have been more than advertised. Not only the animals but prostitutes have been provided. This is the final straw and the 3 friends swing into action. The next hunting trip will be filled with surprises and if you're in a public place while you're reading it, you may find people staring at you because you're laughing out loud and shaking your head!! When its all over, one of them will see her husband in a new light, one will find a new (and better love) and one will be crowned the queen of the Kudzu Ball - which is one of the funniest festivals you will ever read about. One of the things I liked about this book (besides the fact it made me laugh more than once) is that even tho its about revenge, it is not mean-spirited. A really fun read!

Just in Time to Take to the Beach!

"Love is blind, but marriage is a real eye-opener." -- So says Ms. Lavonne Zibolsky, as she is fixin' to be crowned Kudzu Queen -- right after she enacted sweet revenge on her two-timing husband. I had so much fun reading this book. Seldom does a read make me laugh out loud, but this one did, and often. Three fantasic women find strength they never knew they had, with such hilarious results. You will love the Kudzu Ball, complete with a recliner race, a Betty Cracker Cook-Off, a variety of games including the Hubcap Throw, and the crowning of the Kudzu Queen. This is a fantastic read, and I can't wait to read the next book from this very talented first time author. If you missed taking this one to the beach this year, read it anyway, it will bring back fond beach read memories!
