Silly book. There are so many women..........twins,sisters, friends it's hard to keep track of who's who. But, they each get themselves into trouble while trying to help one of the twins, Elinore, who had an affair with the Vice President of the US. All the women's secrets come out. Most have to do with sex or men and the women's over active imaginations. Only one of them seemed to work so I think they all needed something more to be involved or interested in.
Semi-mystery ala Desparate Housewives with relationship between twin sisters at center. An old murder binds a group of friends who come together to aid one of the twins who is being blackmailed because of an affair with the Vice President. Preposterous plot carries story for a while but dullness soon sets in.
I am sure there is a audience for this book, but at 31 years old, this IS NOT the book for me. I have no interest in grandma's sex life. Sorry but I just don't. Maybe some day I will but today isn't the day. I put the book back on the shelf after only 40 pages. :-(

An unfaithful wife is afraid she's about to be exposed for her little affair. She gathers her friends around to help her track down the extortionist but none of them expected other secrets to be told.
I hated the main character in this book so much that I had a hard time liking the overall story which was actually pretty good.
I didn't like it. It was one big soap opera of everyone having sex with everyone else's spouse. Not my kind of thing.
This was a cute story. I enjoyed learning about each character. Poppy was my favorite! You really never would of thought who the blackmailer was!
This is a very quick read and I really don't think ALL middle aged women in Westchester County have affairs!
Quite fun...

This was a fun, little read. I could see it being a funny Lifetime movie. Abby Drake's books always follow a group of women, who all have their own secrets to hide. In Perfect Little Ladies, the women are all coming together to aid Elinor who is being blackmailed for an affair she's having. As time goes on, all the women's secrets are brought to light and it takes a few twists and turns.
fun summer read

I liked it. I was surprised by some of the racy content. Doesn't mean I didn't like it, just was surprised. I was expecting 'perfect ladylike topics and language' :)
I enjoyed the read, didn't know where the story was going so that made it very interesting.

I enjoyed this book.. it was a fast read. it was a sorta a mystery but followed upper class women in their lives.
I thought it was good up until the last chapter, a litle disappointed with the ending.

Not a good book for me. Didn't get past page 10.
Couldn't get very far with this one.
