I'm officially obsessed with Grady Hendrix, if I wasn't already after I first read My Best Friend's Exorcism. This one focuses more on housewives and how they deal with all their problems quietly and often without their husbands' support. Fantastically written, with a token cryptic ending that had me seeing it like a movie.
