The Supremes at Earl's All-You-Can-Eat: A Novel (Vintage Contemporaries)

NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE STREAMING ON HULU •  A warmhearted, "complex, believable, and always intriguing story” (The New York Journal of Books) that celebrates female friendship and second chances

This diner in Plainview, Indiana is home away from home for Odette, Clarice, and Barbara Jean. Dubbed "The Supremes" by high school pals in the tumultuous 1960s, they’ve weathered life’s storms for over four decades and counseled one another through marriage and children, happiness and the blues

Now, however, they’re about to face their most challenging year yet. Proud, talented Clarice is struggling to keep up appearances as she deals with her husband’s humiliating infidelities; beautiful Barbara Jean is rocked by the tragic reverberations of a youthful love affair; and fearless Odette is about to embark on the most terrifying battle of her life.

With wit, style and sublime talent, Edward Kelsey Moore brings together three devoted allies in a warmhearted novel that celebrates female friendship and second chances.

The movie caught my attention first, and that was so good, I felt impelled to read the book. So many more vivid details which kept me engaged and made me want to read for more

The book was an excellent read. In conjured up so many memories and emotions. Kudos to this male author who so accurately captured the female persona and perspective. Friendship, relationships, love, loss and strength were topics discussed and explored during our book discussion which was really more "bookclub therapy"! Wider Horizons Bookclub is truly a GREAT Bookclub!

Good but not as great as I was expecting. I enjoyed the characters, even the dead ones.

I loved the characters, and the story was fine. I just figured "the twist" out way too early in the book. very classic chick-lit.
