Uh oh! The seven members of the self-titled “Book Club Bad Girls” (formerly just “Thursday Night Book Club”) went totally crazy at a book club meeting this weekend, drinking an entire three bottles of Pinot Grigio in one sitting.
The group met up to discuss The Time Traveler’s Wife, but things quickly got out of hand as each member of the group grabbed a full glass of wine. “We were just gossiping and complaining about our husbands again,” says Sue Epstein. “We hardly even talked about the book!”
Members observed that Shelly Waters, the “crazy one” of the group, was “totally out of control” as she poured herself a second glass within an hour of arriving.
“Uh oh, here she goes!” yelled Gina Stevenson, which reportedly sent the rest of the group into a surge of laughter. Group members affectionately recalled the time Shelly had two martinis at a holiday party and “was dancing all over the place.”
“Girls night is when we really let our hair down,” said Gina. “Even though most of us have short hair because it’s so much easier to take care of.”
While the wine was a hit, things really went off the rails at dessert.
“Sue, you are so bad!” said Marcy Allain about the tray of French pastries that Sue had purchased for the group. “What is she trying to do—kill us?” By the night’s end, almost the entire tray of profiteroles was gone.
Wells’ husband Dan arrived home to find the party still raging, and asked: “Did you gals save any wine for me or what?” which was quickly met with a resounding “no!” from the entire room.
“This is why I go somewhere to watch football when they do these things,” Dan said later. “Those girls are just too crazy.”
Things aren’t looking any tamer for the next “Book Club Bad Girls” event. The group plans to read an Elena Ferrante book before heading over to Stevenson’s house, who has “a few leftover bottles of wine” from her son’s graduation party.
