Week 5: The Supremes at Earl's All-You-Can-Eat

This week's book:
The Supremes at Earl's All-You-Can-Eat
By Edward Kelsey Moore

I did it y'all, barely, but I finished this week's book just earlier today. I started reading a kinda scary book and then noticed that I am leading the book discussion at my church book group. I thought I probably should read the book and take notes and such, be prepared instead of wait the last minute and try to read the whole book two days before we are going to discuss it like I normally do. So I started the book late last week and life just kept getting in the way. Such is life.

This week's book is The Supremes at Earl's All-You-Can-Eat and I really liked it. For how much I love to read, I am a harsh critic; a lot of the time I don't love books by the end. But in no time flat I knew I was going to like this book. I even went and bought the sequel/prequel on Saturday before I even finished the book.
I don't know if this has anything to do with it either, but the book is based in Indiana and the author is also from Indiana. Gotta love those local authors!

The book is about three women's friendship since they were in high school. All three are going through major issues that can be sad and sometimes the plot becomes a little far fetched, but it's a fun book. I felt like it was a combination of the book version of The Help (the flashbacks are in the 1960's racist past), Fried Green Tomatoes, and Big Stone Gap.

I can't wait to lead the group discussion next Sunday and hear what others thought of the story. I am also excited to dive into the second book by this author.  I would super duper recommend this book if you want an enjoyable read.
