Queen Bee by Dorothea Benton Frank - Reshelved Books

Don't you hate it when all of your library holds come in at once?  That's what happened this past week, which means I've been double fisting my reads, and also gives an excuse to why it took me so long to finish Dorothea Benton Frank's latest novel, Queen Bee. It also probably didn't help that I left it in my boyfriend's room for two days. 

Ironically, in my personal life hardly anyone ever asks me what I'm reading, yet while I've been reading this one, so many people have, and here's what I've been telling them:

I'm reading a book about a woman that's in love with her neighbor and his two little boys.  His wife died, but her love is secret because he started dating some trampy mean dentist he wants to propose to.  This chick hates his little boys.  The woman next door?  She keeps bees, and her sister is home contemplating a divorce because her husband wants to move to Las Vegas to be a drag queen.  He wants to stay in their marriage and be called Charlene. 

Are you intrigued?  I was.  This book is nothing like I expected it to be, but it makes the perfect fluffy summer read.  So Dewey Readers, I leave you with a rating of 4.5 out of 5 Coffee Beans.  

Until the next read!
