review 1: I fully anticipated disliking this novel, a story about a divorced mother of two going through a rough patch after she loses custody of the children to her Experson. (A friend put it in my hands and told me to read it.) I also fully did not like the protagonist when I started reading, but I think that was intentional on Leslie Daniels' part, because I ended up enjoying her very much by the end of the novel. This is also a book that did not go the way I imagined it would go, and definitely threw in some seriously unexpected (and funny) curveballs.If this if enough of a recommendation for you, I'd say give it a go without reading the book jacket so as not to spoil some of the surprise of the unusual path this story takes (and I won't say more here because I don't want to rui... moren it, either.) This isn't the most compelling book about a woman getting her life together after an ended marriage, but it was an enjoyable and lighthearted sort of read.
review 2: This book is incredibly wry. I laughed a lot. The protagonist, Barb, leaves her husband. She just walks out the door, packs her kids and takes them camping. After her ex-husband convinces the courts she is a domestic kidnapper, she loses everything. But don't let the seemingly sad events deter. By a serendipitous sequence of events, Barb maneuvers child custody battles, uncovering a manuscript possibly written by Vladimir Nabokov, and running a brothel specifically marketed to women. A page turner from start to finish. less
