Exclusive (Godmothers) Review
Now that Toots has relocated to Los Angeles and moved into her new home which had originally been owned by Lucille Ball things have really started to change.
When she purchased the house she was not happy with the decorating and thought the colors were awful but the view was spectacular and so she knew that is why she got it for such a bargain price.
Being close to Abby is what the move is all about and the fact that she might have the story of her life an exclusive of Angelina Joile with Brad Pitt and the family has put her on cloud nine as she is wondering why they would choose The Informer when they could go to People, Us or any of the big gossip magazines.
Of course Mavis, Ida and Sophie and moved in with her. Ida has been seeing Dr. Samer not only as a patient but as a lover behind the girls backs. Mavis also might be in love and things seems to be going too good until Toots feels the house is haunted and by famous celebrity guests.
I love the fact that Ms Michaels shows older woman are not to old to try love for a second chance and what you expect to happens usually does not.
Abby is upset with some events about the story of a lifetime but might find herself with an exclusive that nobody else knows about thru the help of her mom and her friends. A fun and very enjoyable and once again a winner by Ms. Michaels I highly recommend it.
Exclusive (Godmothers) Overview
When Toots Loudenberry relocated to Los Angeles from South Carolina to be near her daughter, Abby, she expected to bump into the occasional celebrity. She just never expected them to be dead. Meanwhile, Toots, Sophie, and Mavis are concerned that the prestigious Dr. Sameer's budding romance with Ida may have something to do with his ailing bank balance. And Abby's attempted makeover of the celebrity magazine The Informer into the most talked-about tabloid in town could end more than just her career. But the Godmothers wouldn't be the Godmothers if they weren't pulling a few behind-the-scenes strings, and Abby's hopes of changing the fortunes of The Informer are still alive. Yet it'll take an assist from a source no one could have predicted, let alone see, to secure a story that will shake Tinselt own to its very core...

amusing Southern invasion of Southern California - Harriet Klausner -
Affluent Toots Loudenberry anonymously buys the tabloid The Informer for her daughter Abby to run (see Scoop). To help Abby, Toots and the posse (Ida, Sophie, and Mavis) move from Charleston, South Carolina to Los Angeles. The four Magnolia State Golden Girls look forward to meeting the who's who of Hollywood.
Toots succeeds in meeting a celeb except for one problem; the famous person is the ghost of the dead owner of the beachside mansion she bought; at least that is Mavis' explanation. Meanwhile Ida meets Dr. Sameer and they seem to have hit it off. While chaos has come to Los Angeles, Abby struggles with turning the Informer around.
The BFF quartet makes for an amusing Southern invasion of Southern California. Humorous as havoc seems to follow everywhere Toots and company go (kind of like Lucy and Ethel), the story line lacks deepness as the woes of each of the ladies seem irrelevant to them and none stand out as the prime focus. Still, fans who enjoy a lighthearted best friends' romp will appreciate the zany Scoop.

Strange exclusive - wogan - U.S.A.
Fern Michaels' Godmothers continue their California adventures. They are the best of friends, most have money and are willing to use it to help each and others live a good life. They have gone to California to help their goddaughter/Toots' daughter with the tabloid newspaper she is in charge of, and that we were left hanging in the last book...wanting to know what was the next scoop...so here it is with the `Exclusive'.
There is a bit of a prologue to help those who have not read all of the proceeding books, so that helps in that sense; but there are still some problems for those who do not read the whole series. Abby the daughter is not introduced as the daughter until deeper in the book. Then there are the friends and questions always arrive about some of their behavior to each other and in their love lives. It also continues in some instances, like not explaining why some celebrity would have a conveyor belt in their bedroom??? Why would Toots make an offer of million before she finished seeing this house and then lose deposit money...I guess I just don't run in these circles of higher finances and celebrity life - I just wish there were some explanations for us `ordinary' people.
Then there is the shock of not the fact of having a séance but having Aaron Spelling and Bing Crosby at odds with each other - it's explained why but it sort of stretches incredulity. I keep trying to like these books more than I do, but at least I keep reading them - so they do have the drawing power for a break away from everyday life.
Personally, I would prefer to have friends that did not always give me the finger or use the language these women do, no matter how much money they have and how much they help out and support each other, but that is their friendship and if you enjoy these ladies and their lifestyle, it's an escape to read about them.
More vulgarity - Agatha Galen - Crown Point, IN USA
Just as the first Godmothers' book, this is filled with vulgarity. Talk about dirty old men, this is dirty old women. Do women really talk this way. No one I know does. Such a shame in this society that the "words" now seem commonplace to most....but not all.
Disappointing.
