Product Description:
kud • zu \kud-zü\ n: a ubiquitous vine/weed found in Southern climes that, left uncontrolled, will grow over any fixed object in its path, including trees, power lines, and the entire state of Georgia.
deb•u•tante \de-byu-tänt\ n: a young woman making a debut into society, easily spotted in white dress and pearl necklace. Common names include Muffy, Bootsy, and Bunny.
Eadie Boone is no shrinking violet. An artist and former beauty queen who married into one of the first families of Ithaca, Georgia, she tackles everything with gusto and flair. But tailing her wayward husband proves to be, well, an exasperating chore. If only Trevor would just see the light, dump his twenty-two-year-old hussy, and return home, Eadie’s creative energy could be put to better use. Now all she has to do is convince him.
Nita Broadwell, a good Southern girl from a good Southern family, is jolted out of complacency when she discovers condoms in her husband’s shirt pocket (“Maybe he’d found them on the ground and picked them up”). Between clinging to denial and dodging her overbearing mother-in-law, Nita is also trying to break her addiction to steamy bodice-ripper novels. Only now it appears she’s authoring her own real-life romance tale with a hunky handyman thirteen years her junior.
Lavonne Zibolsky–a transplanted Yankee, bless her heart–is saddled with planning the annual Broadwell & Boone law firm party. That and her lackluster marriage have her seeking solace in the contents of her refrigerator. If she could just put down the Rocky Road ice cream and peach pie, she might get around to finding a caterer, dropping sixty pounds, and figuring out how to fall in love with her husband again. Not necessarily in that order.
Bonded by years of friendship, these three women discover what else they have in common: lying, cheating spouses. So they heed their collective betrayals as a wake-up call and band together to exact sweet revenge. The take-charge trio will see to it that the punishment is just, exquisitely humiliating, and downright hilarious.
Cathy Holton’s debut novel is a delicious yarn of friendship and marriage, secrets and retribution, and how nothing stays hidden for long. Against a Southern backdrop of gentility and decorum, Revenge of the Kudzu Debutantes dares to abandon Junior League social graces in ways that would make even Scarlett O’Hara blush.
"It’s great fun reading about these women as they trade their tea for tequila and get smart, get out, and get even, with amusing, and surprising results." --Nancy Thayer, author of The Hot Flash Club
"Sly, smart, and full of great characters -- and then there’s that sweet, sweet revenge. Getting even has never been so creative. Or delicious." --Louise Shaffer, author of The Ladies of Garrison Gardens

I was afraid this was going to be silly, but it wound up being hilarious with enough of a serious plot for you to care about what happens. Being from the South myself, I can tell you that there was not very much exaggeration about the people or places. There was just a great deal of humor thrown in. I loved it.

Another extremely funny Holton book. Her southern humor is right on target. Looking forward to her newest book.

I really enjoyed this book. I have to say though, the plot has been done, over and over actually, scorned wives wanting revenge on their awful husbands....but I enjoyed this book so much anyway. It was laugh out loud funny in quite a few places, and once I started it, I could not put it down. I would like to say though, I read it on kinlde and there were a couple of editing goofs, but it didn't matter. I still enjoyed the book so much. I see there is a sequel , off to order it from Amazon. I can't ... Read More

I am so hooked on the Kudzu Debutantes! I can't wait till my library gets the sequel to this book in, 'The Secret Lives of Kudzu Debutantes'. Darn the super slow Georgia library system! Every night I'd go to bed at 9:30 and say to myself '1 hour, just 1 hour of reading, then I'll go to bed'. Ha! 3 hours later I was FORCING myself to put the book down!
If you love southern fiction, cheating husbands and wives who set into motion the perfect revenge plot, then you'll love this book. The ... Read More

I read to my man. It's relaxing for both of us. I read these two books to him and we laughed until the tears ran as I slid off the chair, laughing. We are from way up north, but we know southern women like the ones in these books. Cathy Holton has hit the nail squarely on the thumb with both these books. If you want humor without pretense, and Life as a Game of Gotcha! without scary suspense, you need to read Revenge of the Kudzu Debutantes and The Secret Lives of the Kudzu Debutantes. Just be ...
