Review:

"Lehr turns out a frothy escape novel that examines a cross-section of contemporary Los Angeles divorces who become fast friends despite themselves. There's Diane, a mom of two whose husband's gambling led to bankruptcy and divorce. Then there's Lana, the former wife of a Hollywood heartthrob whose public breakup became a national punch line and led her to change her name and find work at a furniture store. Rounding out the cast is sweet-as-sugar Bonnie, a former homecoming queen now saddled with two children and an overbearing husband, and icy divorce attorney Annette, whose husband left her for another man. After a chance encounter in Lana's furniture store, Diane discovers Annette is living in the house she lost, and Bonnie has a mini-breakdown while choosing a coffee table; the four eventually find themselves looking to each other for support, insight and favors. Although occasionally veering toward the implausible or clichd — such as when Lana spurns her ex on national television — Lehr keeps the plot moving with madcap hijinks and tender moments." Publishers Weekly (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)

Synopsis:

Against all odds, four very different women become unlikely friends, offering each other humor, healing, and hope as they leave their pasts behind and enter into a new world bursting with possibilities.
