July 20 Meeting at Pam's

The book for this month was “Woman #17” by Edam Lepucki.  It was about relationships between mothers, daughters and friends.  I think we all agreed the author didn’t really show why the relationship didn’t work.  Lady hires Ester, nickname 5 without really knowing her or checking her qualifications.  I really don’t think most people would do that.  5 has an affair with Lady’s son.  It was hard getting into the characters.  5 and Lady are a bad combination and drink way too much.  I just couldn’t relate to them.  I fixed spaghetti with Italian sausages, hamburger and bacon, tossed salad and fresh baked bread.  Maybe because of all the drinking in the book not much wine was consumed.  We did have a great evening just talking.  It’s a great group of ladies and we always manage to have fun no matter what we’re reading.
