I searched and searched to see if there was a sequel to this book, but regrettably, I didn't find anything. I guess I will just have to use my imagination on how Frede's life continues past the end of the story. I am happy to report that this is in pre-production for a movie. From what I read online, Jennifer Garner might actually produce and star in the movie. I think she will make an awesome Frede Ware.
I highly recommend this story for some fun reading. This one is very high on my favorite "guilty pleasure"/chic lit kind of books.
The Junior League of Willow Creek, Texas, is tres 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 rather 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. Linda Francis Lee has written an hysterical novel about the creme de la creme of Texas society, the lengths to which one woman goes to bring her cheating husband to justice, and how taking on what seems like a "Mission Impossible" can change you in ways you could never have imagined.

This made me laugh. As a former Junior Leaguer (loved it, but just didn't have time) I can attest to just how difficult it would be to get poor Nikki in. Right now I have to get "The Hillbilly Debutante Cafe" finished to go into 2011 production. But once I'm finished, this, my dear, shall be my guilty pleasure. Thank you!!
