About this ebook

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • “A raucous, whip-smart collection of stories featuring retro-feminist ladies who lunch.” —Elle

Meet the women of American Housewife. They wear lipstick, pearls, and sunscreen, even when it’s cloudy. They casserole. They pinwheel. And then they kill a party crasher, carefully stepping around the body to pull cookies from the oven.

Taking us from a haunted pre-war Manhattan apartment building to the unique initiation ritual of a book club, these twelve delightfully demented stories are a refreshing and wicked answer to the question: “What do housewives do all day?”

Great. Yet another chick lit book staring a vapid housewife that only cares about competing with other women and looking good for her husband. I knew after the first mention of Beyonce that this was going to be the literary equivalent of a toaster. It even included the cliche email exchange that we all know and hate.
