The Bette Davis Club

By: Jane Lotter

Narrated by: Sue Pitkin, Tessa Marts

The morning of her niece's wedding, Margo Just drinks a double martini and contemplates the many mistakes she's made in her fifty-odd years of life. Spending three decades in love with a wonderful but unattainable man is pretty high up on her list of missteps, as is a long line of unsuccessful love affairs accompanied by a seemingly endless supply of delicious cocktails.

When the young bride flees - taking with her a family heirloom and leaving behind six hundred bewildered guests - her mother offers Margo fifty grand to retrieve her spoiled brat of a daughter and the invaluable property she stole. So, together with the bride's jilted and justifiably crabby fiancé, Margo sets out in a borrowed 1955 red MG on a cross-country chase. Along the way, none of what she discovers will be quite what she expected. But it might be exactly what she's been seeking all along.

From acclaimed humor writer Jane Lotter comes this madcap, laugh-out-loud adventure, The Bette Davis Club.

Great book

loved this book. This is my 1st time listening to this author .I enjoyed it immensely.

Quirky, romantic and occasionally suspenseful!!

This book was an easy listen, very enjoyable and well worth the money you spent!! 😎

Wonderfully done!

What a wonderful story, funny, heartwarming and real! Absolutely a must read-listen to book! One of those you keep in your collection!

Loved It

Heart warming and touching. Kept me listening, when I should have been, oh well it was worth it!

Really 3.5 Stars

A sweet story, interesting, a happy ending. All you can want in light Rom-Com.

Great Story and Narrator!

I am sad that this is the only novel penned by the author. I enjoyed the adventure with the 50ish leading lady. My first car was a MG, so I also loved the road trip. Loved the narrator also!

A Delight

My husband & I listened to this book together & enjoyed every minute of it. The story line, full characters & wonderful narration were delightful. My husband, who is an Emmy winning director said this would make a great movie. Bravo

Mediocre

Would you try another book from Jane Lotter and/or Sue Pitkin and Tessa Marts ?

I don't think I would. At least not in audio form.

What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)

Saw half of it coming a mile away, the other half was out of left field.

Any additional comments?

As far as i could tell, one narrator read the foreward and the other read the book. sorry to say the story narration was poor. I wanted to like the story after listening to the foreward but I'm not sure I would have liked it any better if I'd read it on my kindle. It was a bit melodramatic and stretchy, even for my imagination.

Fun cross country adventure

I thoroughly enjoyed this light cozy caper of two people that are thrust together into a Tinseltown adventure. Against both of their better judgements they set out toward Palm Springs in a classic, convertible MG with the thought of catching up to a flibertijibbit, runaway bride. Imaginative and ever changing characters mixed with a sturdy plot, made this a fun read.

Delightful!

This was a fun story with some twists and turns. Lighthearted and playful, it also touched on some deeper topics. Great read! I'm sad there won't be any more books from Jane Lotter.
