  <description><![CDATA[The Junior League of Willow Creek, Texas, is trs exclusive. 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 rather 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. Linda Francis Lee has written an hysterical novel about the crme de la crme of Texas society, the lengths to which one woman goes to bring her cheating husband to justice, and how taking on what seems like a &quot;Mission Impossible&quot; can change you in ways you could never have imagined.]]></description>

    <![CDATA[&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Former Junior Leaguer Linda Francis Lee has crafted a scandalously delicious novel that takes you deep into the heart of Texas blue-blood society.<br/>The Junior League of Willow Creek, Texas, is <em>très</em> exclusive. 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&#8212;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. <br/>The 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.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;]]>

    <body><![CDATA[I added this to my &quot;to read&quot; list when this first came out and I saw what a fit the Junior Leagues of American were throwing. Never having been in a Junior League in Texas but with friends that were, I was curious. This was fun, easy, &quot;escape&quot; reading. I actually started it twice...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/64864647">more...</a>]]></body>

    <![CDATA[The Junior League of Willow Creek, Texas, is trs exclusive. 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 rather 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. Linda Francis Lee has written an hysterical novel about the crme de la crme of Texas society, the lengths to which one woman goes to bring her cheating husband to justice, and how taking on what seems like a &quot;Mission Impossible&quot; can change you in ways you could never have imagined.]]>

    <body><![CDATA[I didn't expect to like this book as much as I did.  Initially, I wasn't fond of the main character, Frede (pronounced Freddy).  As the story progressed, I did become quite fond of her.  She had some quirks that I wasn't too keen on—for example, her tendency for a smattering of French words or her...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/43416491">more...</a>]]></body>

    <![CDATA[&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Former Junior Leaguer Linda Francis Lee has crafted a scandalously delicious novel that takes you deep into the heart of Texas blue-blood society.<br/>The Junior League of Willow Creek, Texas, is <em>très</em> exclusive. 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&#8212;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. <br/>The 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.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;]]>

    <![CDATA[The Junior League of Willow Creek, Texas, is très exclusive. 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.<br/><br/>The 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.<br/>]]>

    <body><![CDATA[Since this is my first year in Junior League I thought this was perfect! And the author is from Texas and graduted from Texas Tech. I'm in full support of most Red Raiders!<br/><br/>Aftering finishing, I'd really like to give this a 3.5 but i'll round up. It has the same tone as the Dixie Cash boo...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/52092440">more...</a>]]></body>

    <![CDATA[The Junior League of Willow Creek, Texas, is trs exclusive. 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 rather 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. Linda Francis Lee has written an hysterical novel about the crme de la crme of Texas society, the lengths to which one woman goes to bring her cheating husband to justice, and how taking on what seems like a &quot;Mission Impossible&quot; can change you in ways you could never have imagined.]]>

    <body><![CDATA[I actually read/listened to this book as an audio book and it was so fun. I loved the quirky characters and was endeared to Freddie, the main character, as she transforms from an snob to someone a little more down to earth. Listening to it as an audio book and hearing the fanatstic Texas accents mad...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/69270556">more...</a>]]></body>
