After three children and 25 years of marriage. Diane is completely blindsided when her husband Jacques leaves her for a younger woman. She takes refuge with her divorced friend Claudine. Their relationship reminds me of Lucy Ricardo and Ethel Mertz. Diane's over-the-top actions, egged on by Claudine's suggestions, result in situations that don't make good sense, but do make for good theater. Diane even agrees to meet with the "other woman." (Oh no!) Each time Diane gets in an especially desolate mood, she gets out a sledge hammer. (Bye bye, couch.) Drinks are thrown, screaming fits happen. This is not a book from which advice can be gleaned. However, if one is looking for the spurned woman's revenge, this book can help fill the need!
