Summary: GREAT READ!!
Review: This is a wonderful book!Being from metro Atlanta, I identified with the characters and places the author based the story on.
THe book was really well written and each page leads you into the next,holding your interest right up til the very end.
I read this book in 24 hours and really enjoyed it --already looking for her other books. There are very few authors who are able to blend fiction with humor without losing the reader and Mary Kay Andrews has done an excellent job.

Review: This is my second MKA book, and i loved it as much as Hissy Fit. Katherine and M.B. kept me laughing, as did Dinky Davis, AKA Parker. I can't wait to read more!

Summary: Loved it!
Review: This is not the kind of book that you are going to learn anything from, but it is a fun book, nonetheless. I thoroughly enjoyed and thought it was pretty amusing. I couldn't wait to see what was going to happen to that snake, Parker. If my husband left me in the state that Parker left Mary Bliss and Erin, I would probably do more that fake his death (only kidding). I enjoyed all the references to Atlanta, as I live in the area and it made me feel like a part of the book, since I knew of some of the places she wrote about. I really didn't want the book to end and I cannot wait to read another of Mary Kay Andrew's books. When you feel like a really light chick-lit book, this is perfect!

Summary: Little Bitty Lies Equal Great Big Satisfactions
Review: This is the untimate housewife's revenge. After years of creating the perfect home for her husband, Mary Bliss comes home to find that the rat has drained their accounts, put the house in hock up to its shingles, and taken off for parts unknown. How she survives is a wonderful romp through matrimony and suburbia (with a sidetrip to Mexico thrown in for the hell of it!) But then, this talented author could even make the Atlanta phone book sound funny. Highly recommended.

Summary: endearing, humorous and fun!!!!!
Review: With a main character named Mary Bliss you are handed a quirky clue of where this story, by a skillful and adept author is headed!
While Mary Bliss is busy worrying about her friends, whose marriages are falling apart, she is stunned to find out that her own marriage has taken an unbelievable turn when she discovers a note from her husband. Mary Bliss attempts to avoid the embarassment and humiliation by telling just one "little" lie, which snowballs into a series of events that must all be hidden by more lies. On top of having no money to pay her bills and taking a part time job just to buy food, she must deal with a cantankerous, nasty mother-in-law and the sudden secretive behavior of her teen-aged daughter.
As always Mary Kay Andrews crafts an endearing tale dealing with serious issues and yet woven with her delightful sense of humor, it is a delight to read!!

Summary: Mary Kay has whipped up one heck of a fun story!
Review: Your husband of 20 years leaves you --- but not before mortgaging your house to the hilt, emptying all your bank accounts, cashing in your insurance policies, and (the nerve!) pocketing your diamond engagement ring.Up until now you have led a storybook life, while marriages all around you are splitting up in vast numbers. You are too proud to become just another statistic --- or even worse, another tale in the gossip mill. So what do you do? Well, if you're Mary Bliss McGowan, in LITTLE BITTY LIES by Mary Kay Andrews, you lie, of course! To start, you tell everyone that your husband is away on an extended consulting trip. Then you stage his death (a tragic boating accident in Cozumel). And then the lying escalates; one lie leads to another, and to another, and to another. It's a recipe for disaster. Come to think of it, LITTLE BITTY LIES is an awful lot like Mary Bliss's specialty: chicken salad. The main ingredient is chicken, or Parker, her yellow-bellied husband who poached the family nest egg and then cowardly abandoned his wife and daughter, not to be seen again until the end of the novel. Toss in nuts, plenty of nuts. There are her dearest friends, Katherine and Charlie Weideman, the on-again, off-again middle-aged couple; Eula, the crazy mother-in-law who indulges in Paxil and gin cocktails; Randy, the nearly divorced neighbor who would probably like to live up to his name but doesn't know how; and Nancye, the town hot tamale. Add water chestnuts, a bit of unexpected "crunch" to the story: Matt Hayslip, the undercover private eye whose keeping Mary Bliss on her toes (even though he'd prefer to keep her on her back). Throw in mandarin oranges, with the juice, and you've got Dinky Davis, the coppertoned Cozumel stand-in who mixes too much liquid refreshment with his work. A pinch of salt and pepper, maybe a dash of ginger --- a confused 17-year-old daughter Erin -- to add a bit of spice. And, finally, the mayonnaise, the glue that holds it all together: Mary Bliss herself. Consummate housekeeper, extraordinary chef, Southern belle and devoted mother, Mary will stop at almost nothing to keep her family, or at least the image of her family, in tact. Toss, mix, blend, and toss again, and not only do you have a summertime favorite salad, but also one heck of a fun story. LITTLE BITTY LIES is at times riotous, heart-wrenching, romantic, ridiculous, impossible, and touching --- but never boring. Pour yourself a glass of iced tea (Mary Bliss would recommend sun-brewed) and enjoy. --- Reviewed by Roberta O'Hara
