I didn't know anything about this book when I picked it up. Initially, I thought it was a modern novel, but when I turned the first page, I went back to the publishing date. It was an "oh gee golly" type phrase (and the fact that my edition was printed with an old fashioned typeface) that sealed the deal. Yup, this was a chick lit novel written in the 1950s. It's fun, goofy and pretty darn silly...a summer-read kind of book. Enjoyable enough but hardly memorable.

There is an underlying darkness to this book that is fairly disturbing. The ending is particularly troubling, at least how I read it.

The novel was also very funny, but don't be fooled by the cover into thinking this is all light-hearted fun.

See y'all at the book group tonight!
