Book Description

January 17, 2012

The GCBs of Hillside Park Presbyterian are praying for Amanda Vaughn--or so they claim. Will their evil gossip destroy her reputation, or will she show them exactly how to turn the other cheek

Amanda Vaughn needs some heaven-sent help. She’s divorced her cheating husband and fled, along with her two teenagers, back to her hometown, Hillside Park, a Dallas suburb so upper-class that the question isn’t where to bank, but whose family owns the bank. Amanda is thrilled to be back in Texas—after twelve years in Southern California, she’s ready to leave behind her shallow, Godless life and return to the welcoming Christian world where she grow up. Or at least that’s the plan . . .

But when she arrives, she’s met with some Texas-sized trouble. Her old friends, neighbors, and fellow church members treat Amanda like a long-lost friend . . . until her back is turned. Then the claws come out. Amanda finds herself trapped in a world of salacious rumors, secret affairs, and Bible-study sessions gone terribly wrong. And what’s even more puzzling is that a secret admirer is sending Amanda lavish gifts. Why, she wonders, would anyone send a Mercedes when a simple dinner invitation would do?

Packed with schemes, drama, and a Southern setting more fun than a barbecue at Southfork, Good Christian Bitches has humor, sass, and an unforgettable cast of characters.

5.0 out of 5 stars LOVED IT...CAN'T WAIT FOR A SEQUEL March 8, 2012
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
I bought and read this book before the debut of the ABC series aired...and let me tell you...this was a great book that I am recommending to all my friends. It is well written, funny, sympathetic, and full of good morals (as far as Amanda goes)! I thought Amanda's mom was hilarious and her charity work and gumption were to be admired. Sure, she has some cat fights with local mean girls, but she rises above the drama...most of the time. Nothing offensive is in this book at all, aside from the rare use of the b word. A really cool book for hip young women and fans of the traditional chick lit genre. Humerous to the hilt. I am dying for the author to write a sequel!!!!!!! Also, I will say the ABC show GCB is not following the book totally, so fans can enjoy each separately without worrying about the plot of one giving the other one away....a delicious treat of a book. So GOOD!!!! A must read!!!!!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Was laughing the entire time.. March 9, 2012
Format:Paperback
Im noticing some of the comments on here and have to laugh. I loved the book and could relate through the entire thing. The spoiled Highland Park brats growing up to go to SMU on daddy's dime and their mothers being the caddy Christian judging you from A to Z with a smile. My husband now understands why I quit going to Church in Dallas. The humor was great. Im sorry some think it's trashy. I can only imagine why...I thought it was a delightful way to represent the bible thumpers of the South.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good "Ole Read - not Great! March 11, 2012
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Before the premiere of GCB, I felt as a good Christian (who was born in Dallas) that it was my Southern duty to read this book and see what the fuss was all about. I chuckled as a realized how loosely Kim Gatlin based this book on Highland Park in Dallas. The plot with Amanda Vaughn returning to Dallas with her two children was an entertaining light read. This book could be based anywhere as hypocrisy is not exclusive to the South! My favorite part of the book was Amanda building a new relationship with her mother. I felt like the plot raced to the end - typing up the loose ends too quickly and neatly. The TV show did not follow the book and the clothing worn on the TV show would not be worn by any good Christian "bitch or belle" come hell or high water!!

5.0 out of 5 stars No where but Texas
A delightful tour of the wealthy at their very best? It is a great look at just how catty these GCB's can really be and shows hope that they are all not like that. Great read.

3.0 out of 5 stars Meh
The book isn't that well written in parts. I can count on one hand how many show or movie adaptions I liked better than the books, and this is one of them. Read more

2.0 out of 5 stars Story too short, characters too shallow
I read GCB hoping for a lighthearted read I could get lost in for a couple days. Unfortunately, the characters in GCB came across as flat as the paper printed on. Read more

2.0 out of 5 stars It did not
match up in any way to the TV series based on it, I hated the characters in the books, while in the TV show based on it, I liked a fair few of them.
