The Devil in the Junior League by Linda Francis Lee

Summary

This is the story of a Texas socialite named Frede Ware who is dedicated and spends a large part of her time with the local Junior League. To become a member of the Junior League, one must be rich and without reproach. Her husband betrays her by having numerous affairs, but that’s not what really upsets the main character, it is that he stole all her money. In order to keep up appearances and not let anyone know that her husband and her money are hers no longer, she agrees to let a classless yet successful lawyer help her find her husband in exchange for getting his tacky white trash wife into the Junior League. From here, the author weaves a humorous tale about Southern society and how Frede learns lessons about love, money, and friendship.

Discussion

-We all enjoyed the book even though we felt the main character wasn’t the brightest and was way too trusting. This was an enjoyable light summer read. As a matter of fact, it was such a light read that we really didn’t discuss the book that much. Of course, we were all entranced with Molly…..
