Undesirables need not apply. Fredericka Mercedes Hildebrand Ware (Frede to her friends) is a member beyond reproach...until her life begins to unravel. When her husband betrays her, steals her money, and runs off to places unknown, it's something Frede would prefer to keep under wraps. The last thing she needs is to become fodder for the JLWC gossip mill. And to make matters worse, there's only one person in town who stands a chance at helping her get revenge—Howard Grout, a tasteless, gold-chain-wearing lawyer who has bought his way into Frede's tony neighborhood. But there's a price: She has to get his tacky, four-inch-stiletto-and-pink-spandex-wearing wife, Nikki, into the Junior League. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe crème de la crème of Southern royalty should sit up and take notice, and hang on tight for this irresistible tale of getting in and getting even.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReview(s):\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e“An antidote to run-of-the-mill chick lit, Linda Francis Lee's novel gives a hilarious inside look at the world of backstabbing Texas socialites.” —\u003ci\u003eMarie Claire magazine\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Not even the requisite happy ending can blunt Lee's deliciously sharp jabs at Texas blue bloods.” —\u003ci\u003eEntertainment Weekly (Grade: A)\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Lee's details about how the blue-blood women dress, talk, decorate, entertain and conduct themselves… keep the pages turning.” —\u003ci\u003eUSA Today\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Fresh and funny, original and outrageous, this novel is fabulous from start to finish.” —\u003ci\u003eKristin Hannah, author of Magic Hour\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“I giggled out loud at this wickedly funny peek into the back-stabbing socialite-eat-socialite world of the rich and catty.” —\u003ci\u003eKaren Quinn, author of The Ivy Chronicles\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“[A] witty and provocative look at the lives of Texas high-society bluebloods.” —\u003ci\u003eEl Paso Times\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Super-smart and fun” —\u003ci\u003eGlamour\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN:  9780312354978\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ","brand":"St. Martin's Griffin","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":40670983061710,"sku":"9780312354978","price":22.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0600\/7029\/7806\/products\/getimage_7456ec41-c895-40f7-bf37-66b8d1d8e60f.jpg?v=1639797869","url":"https:\/\/pickwickbookshop.com\/products\/9780312354978","provider":"Pickwick Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
