Book #40: Mennonite in a Little Black Dress: A Memoir of Going Home

“In my opinion, sexiness comes down to three things: chemistry, sense of humor, and treatment of waitstaff at restaurants.”
I was very intrigued by the title of this book. I have always loved learning about different religions and cultures and I thought that this would give me insight and knowledge of the Mennonite faith. I really learned nothing.
Mennonite in a Little Black Dress is the story of how Janzen’s life fell apart. She had been happily married, or so she thought, for many years when all of a sudden her husband left her for a man he met on gay.com. Clearly, this came as quite a shock. Instead of pulling her life together, Janzen went home to her Mennonite parents, and that was pretty much it. The book was funny and well-written, I will give it that much, but it just didn’t pull me in.
