I tried. I really tried to get through this book, but I could not even get half way. Even though it's the summer of romance novels for me, life's too short to finish something I am struggling to read. I feel sheepish because the book is well received by others. The author is described as a great comedic talent by some. Yet I just could not get into it. In a romance or a chick lit book, I think one needs to relate to the heroine at some level and in this book, I just could not. She's too dumb, I fear. Maxine marries a wealthy older man straight out of high school - not something I'd do, but that does not make me dislike her. She signs an apparently air tight pre-nup that means even after twenty years of a marriage where she doesn't work he can still kick her out on her ass without a penny, and allow his son to live in that same poverty as he sticks with her. This is where I start getting irritated - family law is not my specialty, but from what I've seen is that most lawyes would fight harder to at least get maintenance support paid while she takes care of the son. And there's a pretty good case to be made to undo at least part of the prenup. But she doesn't even put up a fight. She takes the word of some shopping mall lawyer who charges her on the credit card and does not get a second opinion. She doesn't say to the judge, hey this doesn't seem fair. Of course if she had there would be no book, but it would be less irritating. Apart from that maddening set-up, I'm not crazy about the writing style. I believe the author is trying to be humorous, but I find the writing style to cluttered and cliched. Finally, at the beginning of each chapter there's a little note of advice to ex-trophy wives giving them advice on how to survive. It's a little technique that I've seen other authors use in one form or another, particularly Meg Cabot. It can be effective or annoying. Here, it's just annoying. Partly because, I just can't relate to trophy wives, and partly the author seems to use it as a device to foreshadow the plot for the entire chapter. Why not just let things unfold?
