Book Review of Angry Housewives Eating Bon Bons

Angry Housewives Eating Bon Bons
sorrell avatar reviewed on + 6 more book reviews


Landvik creates a memorable ensemble cast of characters as she charts the friendship of the AHEB clan over thirty years. Marriage, pregnancy, motherhood, careers, divorce, loss, and learning to accept...it's all there.

The most interesting aspect of this novel was how everything that the various characters tried to hide or sweep under the rug came to light. In some cases, others already knew and were relieved to not have to pretend anymore. In all cases, readers learned that we shouldn't be afraid to open up to the ones we love.
