Mermaids in the Basement


Apparently, in looking at my blog history I have forgotten to post some of my reading. Last month our book club read was Mermaids in the Basement by Michael Lee West. It was pretty amusing. It was a stereotypical type of chick lit - the story of a writer who is discovers her hot filmmaker boyfriend (He's Irish!) is cheating on her with the latest Hollywood Hottie. She is reeling for her loss and heads off to her grandmother's place on the Alabama Coast. Hilarity ensues as she goes through a sort of regression therapy - learning about all of the things she missed/forgot from her childhood. One of my favorite characters had to be grandma's best friend who would drop drugs of some sort in the food at a party! Be careful there could be laxatives in the sweet potatoes or viagra in the chocolate covered strawberries.
