A very unrealistic and predictable read. Wife gets dumped for younger model. She finds new love of her life with minimal effort and time. Seems to have no financial worries and is always out dating and partying with a few references to puting her child to bed...... Motherhood in Manhattan (?) At the end she gets married to her new love, who just so happens to be wealthy as was her last husband. In between all that, she finds a fabulous, cool job with again little effort. Also, her ex husband loses most of his money and the younger model. If you are looking for a mindless read that does not ring true at all, here you go. Finally, a female author makes it to the "Really bad books" shelf. This is Chick-lit at its worst. Terrible writing that relies on every cliche and every currently "hip" phrase to fill out the page; and even uses GRAPHS! Which make no sense at all. There are quotes that lead each chapter, which are amusing, BUT, the relation to the chapter content is obscure. If you come across this book at your favorite bookstore, or the library, please turn to page 150, Chapter 25, and see if you don't agree. The women described in this book deserve the men described in this book ... and if they're real ... well, no wonder America is such a mess. I couldn't finish it. Who published this?
