The Devil in the Junior League (Post 4)

“After one more long second Annalise stood. ‘What do we need to do?’ she asked. Nikki nodded then turned to me. ‘Frede, I believe you have something to say.’ I said quite a bit, and by the time we left Brightlee, I had put together a nice fat file that I presented to Howard. After he read through the contents, he whistled. When he looked up at me, he smiled. ‘Darlin’, I knew I loved the Junior League” (292).

The first half of this quote just explains what is going on in the story. I am right in the middle of reading the huge twist at the end of the story. At this point Frede is pulling all the rest of the information to take down her husband and is handing it to her neighbor who is also her lawyer- Howard. The part when he says, “Darlin, I knew I loved the Junior League” is a good statement because it’s one of those things that you really don’t like but one day your like I knew I loved that thing. This fits so well in the story at this point because his wife, Nikki, is trying to get in and they just the rest of the information they needed to take down Frede’s husband, and hard. It also gives the sense that all the work they have been doing was finally becoming worth it and it also meant the story is almost over. Also, it meant that the information that Frede presented to her lawyer, was really good info that he could actually use. This quote shows how the book is like reality because that is something people say and do in real life- that is the writing style in this book.
