The Blue-Ribbon Jalapeño Society Jubilee

Do we have a name for the genre this book falls into? Women's Fiction, but that is really too broad. How about Women's Fiction About Women Who Join Clubs Together and Meet to Try to Figure Out Why Their Marriages Failed and Why Their Kids Are Brats? Yes. That might cover it.

And we love these stories, whatever the name of their genre. The women characters in these books get together and talk about the things that just aren't working in their lives and we readers get a chance to listen in and see if any of these folks have insights we haven't managed to figure out for ourselves. And often these women do. And even if they don't, sometimes it's enough just to hear them rant and fuss about the same things we do.
