Suburbanistasby Pamela Redmond Satran

Chicklit? Maybe. Henlit? Maybe.

Stella and Mary Jean were best friends through their childhood days, then Stella ran off to become an A-list movie star. When she returns to the town in which she grew up will she be able to connect with her old friend despite the huge differences between their lives?
Of course she will, we can guess that from the start of the story. Much of the book is formulaic - when we read that Mary Jean is a frumpy mother of four we just know that Stella is going to take her under her wing and help her turn her life around and face new challenges. I didn't pick up this book looking for great classic literature, I wanted a quick, fun read, and that is exactly what I got.
