Synopsis

When Sukie’s husband shacks up with her Pilates instructor, her domestic drama becomes the talk of her small Georgia town. Friends from her married life prove fickle, and Sukie hides at home, terrified of encountering the town gossips at the grocery store. Betsy, Sukie’s neighbor, invites her to join “Fat Fridays,” a weekly gathering at a local café where the women order whatever they crave—no calories counted. Over sausage pizza and sage advice, Sukie gets a grip on her new life and learns to love her freedom.Judith Keim’s warm, funny novel offers moving glimpses into each of the five women’s very different lives. As they struggle to deal with cruel exes, frustrating families, and forbidden love, the women offer one another the kind of friendship that is as rich and nurturing as their Friday feasts.Revised edition: This edition of Fat Friday includes editorial revisions.

Favorite Quotes: Her mother-in-law's smooth, oversprayed hair would frizz in a minute if she knew what Tiffany really thought about her, the family's phoniness, and the stomach-clenching way they made her feel. The woman's narrow face and small dark eyes reminded her of watercolor drawings of a weasel......more

Goodreads review by Mandy on June 09, 2017

This was an OK light easy read about 5 women who would meet up on a Friday for lunch, no calories counted. Each with their own problems, they become firm friends, and of course it's quite predictable and happy ever after. Just what I needed, not to think too much after water leaks for a month and th......more
