Not as flighty and frivolous a book as the title might suggest. It's all about relationships and the compromises necessary to maintain them. How do we maintain our individuality? Fanny (the wife) has given two decades of her own life to being the "good wife." Was it worth it? Could it be time for a change? By the author of "Revenge of the Middle-Aged Woman."

This book was great! It was frustrating because it was a bit like life. The wife had to fight so hard for someone to care about her, and she isn't vengeful; just wants to have some life. It was more than I expected; it wasn't pat; it was messy the way life is. I really liked it

Funny with a twist of revenge that really makes you want to be in her shoes just so you can do a few of these things! A great read.

Didn't care for the writing style....moved a little slow.
