Book 34 - Revenge of the Kudzu Debutantes

The title of this book is what caught my eye. For those of you that don't live in the sweltering heat of the South, let me splain. Kudzu is a vine that grows at an alarming rate and takes over everything in its path - going so far to strangle the life out of anything that threatens to get in its way. Anyways, enough of a plant lesson.....

This book centers around 3 wives of attorneys in the small town of Ithaca, GA. Each of their marriages are shaky, but none of them realize just how close each of them are to losing everything - from their family to their kids to their financial security. Each woman has their own story and personality but come together as unlikely allies. They set a plan in motion to take back control of their lives and basically screw the husbands as bad as they have been getting screwed themselves.

I loved this book. The characters were hilarious. I tend to love when books are set in the South because being someone who is not native, there are certain things that I just don't get - certain nuances to lifestyle that I just so don't get. This was a really quick read and I enjoyed it thoroughly. I highly recommend if you like books with strong female characters and a fun story.
