Divorced Girls’ Society: Book Review

Life was perfect during the days when you were a bright eyed, bushy tailed member of the ever elite Married Women’s Club. Despite disturbing statistics about cheating husbands, slutty mistresses, and divorce after infidelity, you casually dismissed them. Your husband was your soul mate, you said. You both didn’t believe in divorce, and as for cheating? The word was banned from your vocabulary…until it was discovered that one or both of you had had an affair.

Shamed and furious, divorce is the only option. Clearly devastated, it’s the syrupy-sweet, ornately written notice revoking your membership to the Married Women’s Club arrives that you tip over the edge. Filled with politically correct care, the saccharine aftertaste makes you gag as you read, “Sorry, honey. I’m sure you understand. Here’s to hoping true love finds you in the future.”
