When in doubt, it's time to call
in the Council of Girlfriends
"Princess" Grace, the relentless romantic; La Diva Lola, a South American celebrity chef with a secret sex life; Mamma Mia, who took the Husband & Children exit to the suburbs; The Fabulous Ellie Archer, a journalist who follows her heart across an ocean; and Mistress of the Universe Lexi James, Philadelphia's premiere PR exec, who has plenty of women in her life, but no man.
Lexi James knows that men come and go (mostly go), but the Council of Girlfriends is forever.
Lexi's used to being the woman with the plan, but lately her plan is unraveling like a discount sweater. First, a suburban supermarket meltdown made her end her engagement to Mr. (Not So) Perfect. Then one too many run-ins with her status-seeking boss left her shining career a little lackluster.But Lexi knows she can count on the COG to help make things right. There are no secrets between these ladies -- or so Lexi thinks. Because she's about to learn it's not only her life that's taken some unexpected turns. And with more surprises still ahead, the Council could be in for their wildest ride yet.

She was engaged to Mr. Almost Perfect, but called off the wedding after she had a meltdown in a suburban supermarket. Still dealing with the debris of that failed relationship, Lexi is terrified of making another committment, and another mistake. Fortunately everyone--from the members of the COG to the bubbies at the Jewish Retirement home where she volunteers--has some advice for Lexi on what she should do next.
