Publisher's summary

The Junior League of Willow Creek, Texas, is très exclusive. Undesirables need not apply. Fredericka Mercedes Hildebrand Ware (Frede to her friends) is a member beyond reproach...until her life begins to unravel. When her husband betrays her, steals her money, and runs off to places unknown, it's something Frede would prefer to keep under wraps. The last thing she needs is to become fodder for the JLWC gossip mill. And to make matters worse, there's only one person in town who stands a chance at helping her get revenge - Howard Grout, a tasteless, gold-chain-wearing lawyer who has bought his way into Frede's tony neighborhood. But there's a price: She has to get his tacky, four-inch-stiletto-and-pink-spandex-wearing wife, Nikki, into the Junior League.

The crème de la crème of Southern royalty should sit up and take notice, and hang on tight for this irresistible tale of getting in and getting even.

Loved it

This is a great book. My husband is a non-fiction reader and hates chick lit, but he listened to this with me on a recent trip and he also enjoyed it. He laughed out loud quite a bit. This really is a good story. The book is written in the first person and the main character (the heroine) uses a lot of lists (First, second, etc) to present ideas or aspects of the story line. I thought the use of lists was very clever. The main character really grows on you. She is very proud of herself but it is not a turn off - it is really hilarious.

If You Liked The Help

The Devil in the Junior League is a laugh out loud, funny book. Well written, great character descriptions and great realism of those that are simply stuck up for little reason. Yes, there's a lot of unrealistic actions, but they only add to the humor.

This book reminds me very much in tone of the book The Help.

Just OK

Well written chick lit book. My problem was that the main character wasn't likable....at all. The narration was great and kept me listening.

Best Audio Book Ever!

This is the best book ever. I loved the narrator and "special effects." The book was great but the narrator made it even better and really made it come alive. Love, love, love it...so sad it's over.

Excellent listen!

Great story, great narrator! Truly a southern woman's attitude, mentality, and focus. I definitely laughed out loud throughout the book. Hope you do too!

Audio is the only way to go, funny ,sarcastic,

What did you love best about The Devil in the Junior League?

Freddie Ware , just a funny book ,and you cant get the sarcasm if you read the print , this narrator does a great job ,

What about Jenna Lamia’s performance did you like?

Love her ,she does snotty & prissy so well

Too damn cute!

What made the experience of listening to The Devil in the Junior League the most enjoyable?

Ya gotta love the underdog getting in with the mean girls, I feel this often at work, and I can't help but smile when I finished the book. I learned a few lessons in southern etiquette as well, "No diamonds before dinner" loved it..

Love It!!!

Fun Fun Fun. Go for it you won't regret the time spent. Wish there was a book two...

Very Entertaining

Would you listen to The Devil in the Junior League again? Why?

Yes, It was funny and serious with love interest thrown in.

Which scene was your favorite?

Couldn't choose just one......possibly the one where the housekeeper who was great...loved her character, said

Any additional comments?

The reader was wonderful.....little more southern drawl than most of us Texan's have but still very entertaining......did not want to put it down.....

It will entertain and make you smile.

I read this book as a young adult and I decided to give it a listen a decade later. It has not lost its charm over the years. It is a slightly predictable story line, but a fun ride with a good cast of characters and filled with a journey of self-awareness and personal growth.
