Bette Davis Club
Bette Davis Club | Jane Lotter
22 posts | 30 read | 23 to read
The morning of her niece s wedding, Margo Just drinks a double martini and contemplates the many mistakes she s made in her fifty-odd years of life. Spending three decades in love with a wonderful but unattainable man is pretty high up on her list of missteps, as is a long line of unsuccessful love affairs accompanied by a seemingly endless supply of delicious cocktails.When the young bride flees taking with her a family heirloom and leaving behind six hundred bewildered guests her mother offers Margo fifty grand to retrieve her spoiled brat of a daughter and the invaluable property she stole. So, together with the bride s jilted and justifiably crabby fiance, Margo sets out in a borrowed 1955 red MG on a cross-country chase. Along the way, none of what she discovers will be quite what she expected. But it might be exactly what she s been seeking all along.From acclaimed humor writer Jane Lotter comes this madcap, laugh-out-loud adventure, "The Bette Davis Club.""

I picked this audiobook up in a sale years ago after reading the obituary the author wrote for herself and learning it was her only book, published after she died. Unfortunately, the memorial note at the beginning was the best part for me. The novel itself is a hot mess, with unlikable, one-dimensional characters and a plot that is all over the place. Ugh.

⭐️⭐️

My #BlackJack21 book for #Booked2021 though. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Sharpeipup What a fun cover! 3y

Fun fast read as Margo is asked to find her niece, Georgia, who left her fiancé before the wedding. An adventure ensues as Margo and Tully, the fiancé, follow her. We learn about Margo‘s life throughout which captures her past and present choices. #doublespin #bookspinbingo

There's more to the story, but it's still an interesting headline. 🤣

“To an unnecessary degree...”

Hah! No such thing 😜🤣❤️📚

ravenlee Such that it rendered said husband unnecessary? 6y
Sweettartlaura @ravenlee Perhaps so. At the very least, imagine how boring he must have been. Insufferable, I‘d imagine 🧐 6y
TheKidUpstairs @ravenlee best. Response. Ever. 👏👏👏 6y

I picked this book up months ago during an Audible sale and still haven't listened to it, but it was the first book I thought of for today's prompt. The description sounds so fun!

I didn't like this one. I found it to be super boring. I didn't care for any of the characters and the plot was just not super exciting or interesting. Not my fave for this one.

It was a 99 cent Audible book months ago.

readingallthetime Definitely outside of my comfort zone. This was romantic comedy which I'm not a fan of at all. I used to love chic lit but that was ages ago. 8y

Perfect audiobook for those times when your attention is divided. I would even say that this book would be good when you need a light, enjoyable read that does not strain your powers of concentration. The characters are complex enough to keep you reading and their interactions are real enough to be believable.

readingallthetime Prefect description. It's fluffy. 8y

Another day, another Audible daily deal that I couldn't pass up. This one looks interesting, and a little outside of my wheelhouse.

beagle.mama I enjoyed it. Quirky read, but fun. 8y
Skybariline A book club friend recommended this one to me, but I haven't read it yet. 8y
readingallthetime I started it yesterday. It's okay. It's like an episode of The Golden Girls. 8y
sprainedbrain @readingallthetime well that doesn't sound bad at all! 😃 8y
