July 09, 2003: A friend from New Smyrna Beach sent me this book which is apparently taking the area by storm. I'm divorced and from the South, which is why she thought I'd enjoy it. Being type cast like that, I wanted to hate it! But, darn, it is funny! And, it reminded me of my favorite author, Anne George. Whoever Mary Clay is, she must be Southern, divorced, and a big wig in her sorority. She got those elements of the story down pat! I howled at some scenes, so close to my own experiences as a Southern sorority sister. I hear a sequel's coming. I'll definitely buy this one.

March 07, 2003: Picked up this mystery while on vacation and loved it!!! A quick, raucous entertaining read. Middle-aged sorority sisters meet the world of crime. These slightly old girls are on the loose sleuthing in a small Florida beach town. This mystery made me laugh out loud. Great idea to form your own little club aka The Daffodils.
