Here are comments from our group of Advance Readers about Linda Francis Lee's THE EX-DEBUTANTE.
Celina from Pendleton, SC
Have you previously read a book by Linda Francis Lee?
Yes. I read her Sexy trilogy, which I enjoyed a great deal.
What other authors do you usually read?
I enjoy Linda Howard, Julie Garwood, Meg Cabot, and Allison Brennan.
What did you think of THE EX-DEBUTANTE?
I enjoyed this book a great deal. In particular, the supporting cast brought this book alive for me. From start to finish, they provided a great backdrop and great deal of comedy to this novel. Between the debutantes, Carlisle Wainwright Cushing's family, and the people who acted as targets for her mother's barbed tongue, I was entertained as I haven't been in ages.
Would you ever read a future book by Linda Francis Lee?
I definitely would.

What other authors do you usually read?
I read Susan Howatch, Lisa Unger, Julia Spencer-Fleming, Elizabeth George, Nelson DeMille, Stuart Woods, and Pat Conroy. I also enjoy biographies.
What did you think of THE EX-DEBUTANTE?
THE EX-DEBUTANTE was a witty, fun romp. It was like having a funny girlfriend write hilarious letters to me.

Yes, I would read her again. Her one liners are priceless.
Ginny from Saginaw, MI

What did you think of THE EX-DEBUTANTE?
I think THE EX-DEBUTANTE is delightful and entertaining. It's one of those hard-to-put-down books. I finished it in two evenings.
Would you ever read a future book by Linda Francis Lee?
Yes. I would read future books by Lee.
Jeannie from Milroy, PA
Have you previously read a book by Linda Francis Lee?
No, I haven't.
What other authors do you usually read?
I read John Grisham, Iris Johansen, Nora Roberts, James Patterson, Sandra Brown, John Hart, Nicholas Evans, Tami Hoag, Luanne Rice, Fern Michaels, David Baldacci, Karen Harper, Barbara Delinsky, Jayne Ann Krentz, Ann Rule, Lisa Gardner, plus many more.
What did you think of THE EX-DEBUTANTE?
It took me about 30 pages to get into her writing, but the further into the book I got, the more I liked it. It had romance, comedy, tears, family problems with solutions, teenage girls with their normal problems, and the ball to add more drama to their problems.
The only things I didn't like about it were the snobbery and influence of money, and the play on beauty and wealth to teenagers. I liked the character of the sister-in-law.
Would you ever read a future book by Linda Francis Lee?
Yes, if it has a good story line.

Naomi from Coconut Creek, FL
Have you previously read a book by Linda Francis Lee?
No.
What other authors do you usually read?
I don't read a particular author. I just read an excerpt to see if it is something I would be interested in. Also, if someone recommends something, I will give it a try.
What did you think of THE EX-DEBUTANTE?
It is a great book. She is so open to explain to readers what her life was like. By reading the book, we can imagine what it would be like if we were there too. I would defiantly recommend THE EX-DEBUTANTE to others. I have already given the book to a friend to read and pass along.

Sure.

Yes, I will read more books by Linda Francis Lee. I definitely plan to seek out THE DEVIL IN THE JUNIOR LEAGUE. Hopefully, she will continue to write more books based on Willow Creek characters.
