Publisher's summary

Life isn't fair. Most women know it. But what can you do about it? Plenty...if you're part of the Sisterhood. On the surface, these seven women are as different as can be - but each has had her share of bad luck, from cheating husbands to sexist colleagues to a legal system that often doesn't do its job. Now, drawn together by tragedy, they're forging a bond that will help them right the wrongs committed against them and discover an inner strength they didn't know they had. Growing bolder with each act of justice, the Sisterhood is learning that when bad things happen, you can roll over and play dead...or you can get up fighting...

In the tradition of The First Wives' Club, Weekend Warriors is a slam-bang, take-no-prisoners tale of survival, sweet revenge, and the healing power of friendship.

Critic reviews

"Readers who grow weary of seeing the bad guys get away with their crimes will enjoy seeing what happens when well-funded, very angry women take the law into their own hands." ( Booklist)

Women who the judicial system has missed

I enjoy that the women get their payback for the crimes committed against them. They pay back their agressors by taking away the things that the agressors value most, but not their lives.

Nuts anyone

I was laughing, I was mad. it was a great story. 👍 I love Ferns books

Loved it but it is dated

Love it and will listen to the series. HOWEVER it is seriously dated and so racist in some areas… using “oriental” instead of Asian having the Asian character speak with an accent even though it is stated she was born and grew up in the states. If the entire series is recorded I’d recommend some rewrites.

the reader did not know the correct pronunciation for f o r t e.

story was fantastic!! I wish there was a true Sisterhood vindicating women who are victims.

Addicted

Once I started this series I am just plowing through them all; the sisterhood. I listen to and from work and find myself in the parking lot getting one more paragraph in. The story is great. The narrator does a wonderful job in my opinion given male voices are very difficult for women. She does great! Once you get to about the 4th or 5th one? hard to figure out the next in the series. I goggled Fern Michaels series and got a list to help me figure out which one was next; since a few of them do not have the sisterhood in the title. Like Hokus Pokus. I really am enjoying them all.

GREAT CHARACTERS AD GREAT STORYLINE!

Oh, in this day and age, it is most comforting to enjoy a story with vigilance and justice being rendered by the wronged when the Justice System screws up. Loved the way the characters are presented and thought that Laura did a WONDERFUL narrative job. My only complaint was the end of the story; but that was taken care of by ordering the next book, which I have done. Can't wait to get into it. you've got a new fan, Fern!

Not Her Best

I generally enjoy this author, and I'll admit that I did enjoy portions of this story. But I certainly can't consider this the author's best work.

I would label this chick-lit, although it was actually a man who suggested this series to me. Apparently, he's really into what I refer to as "revenge porn." We all get it. The system doesn't always work. People get screwed sometimes and the law falls short of justice for the victim. Some people know how to game the system and get away with their evil deeds. We've probably all had those moments when we fantasize about making the person that trashed our lives pay for it in an "eye for an eye" fashion.

If you're big on this kind of fiction, especially geared toward street justice for women, you'll probably like this story. While I like some novels that fall into this vein, this particular one didn't hit it outta' the park for me. It was good, just not great. I think I just expected more from this author based on other works of hers that I've read and enjoyed.

Well Done

This book makes a law abiding citizen cheer for someone breaking the law. The story is well written and the characters are interesting.

Excellent Story

Well written and well read. Enjoyable story. A real page turner. Recommended for all to read.

Fern Michaels Sisterhood 1

Great book all around. I'm moving right on to Payback. My Mom and I read most of this series together years ago. Now I am really enjoying listening to them. The different voices for the characters is excellent! Thank you!
