The new novel by the celebrated author of The Sunday Wife chronicles the lives of a tight-knit group of lifelong friends.None of the Same Sweet Girls are really girls anymore and none of them have actually ever been that sweet. But this spirited group of Southern women, who have been holding biannual reunions ever since they were together in college, are nothing short of compelling. There's Julia Stovall, the First Lady of Alabama, who, despite her public veneer, is a down-to-earth gal who only wants to know who her husband is sneaking out with late at night. There's Lanier Sanders, whose husband won custody of their children after he found out about her fling with a colleague. Then there's Astor Deveaux, a former Broadway showgirl who simply can't keep her flirtations in check. And Corinne Cooper, whose incredible story comes to light as the novel unfolds.
I liked how the women dealt with some issues such as Corrine, her love of gourds and what to do about her health and relationships, Julia and her aspects of her marriage to Joe Ed, and that they were all willing to drop everything to be with each other. Enjoyed hearing about their get-to-gethers - that part was hilarious especially the rituals on the pier as they crowned the queen each year. ( )
This was touted as an uplifting story about friendship. It was a bleak, depressing ramble through the lives of some extremely unfortunate (or in one case completely narcissistic) women. Life's a sh*tshow sometimes; don't read this if you're looking for any sort of escape. ( )
