Book Description
When Lucy discovered that her charming, cheating husband was dying, she came home, opened up his little black book, and decided she wasn’t going through this alone. After all, Artie’s sweethearts were there for the good times—is it fair that Lucy should have to manage the hard times herself? In this wise, wickedly funny new novel, Lucy dials up the women in Artie’s black book and invites them for one last visit. The last thing she expects is that any will actually show up. But one by one, they do show up: The one who hates him. The one who owes her life to him. The one he turned into a lesbian, and the one he taught to dance. And among them is a visitor with the strangest story of all: the young man who may or may not be Artie’s long-lost son. For Lucy, the jaw-dropping procession of women is an education in the man she can’t forgive and couldn’t leave. And as the women find themselves sharing secrets and sharing tears, they start to discover kindred spirits—and even something that’s a lot like family. But Lucy knows one thing for certain: the biggest surprises are yet to come…. Full of heart, Bridget Asher’s unforgettable novel is about mothers and daughters, fathers and sons, and the deep friendships between women. It’s about sweet liars and tenderhearted cheaters—about loving those we love for reasons we can’t always fully rationalize, and about the sort of forgiveness that can change someone’s entire life in the most unexpected and extraordinary ways.

What Shamu Taught Me About Life, Love, and Marriage
Author: Amy Sutherland
Publisher: Random House
ISBN: 1588366901
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 194
Book Description
While observing exotic animal trainers for her acclaimed book Kicked, Bitten, and Scratched, journalist Amy Sutherland had an epiphany: What if she used these training techniques with the human animals in her own life–namely her dear husband, Scott? In this lively and perceptive book, Sutherland tells how she took the trainers’ lessons home. The next time her forgetful husband stomped through the house in search of his mislaid car keys, she asked herself, “What would a dolphin trainer do?” The answer was: nothing. Trainers reward the behavior they want and, just as important, ignore the behavior they don’t. Rather than appease her mate’s rising temper by joining in the search, or fuel his temper by nagging him to keep better track of his things in the first place, Sutherland kept her mouth shut and her eyes on the dishes she was washing. In short order, Scott found his keys and regained his cool. “I felt like I should throw him a mackerel,” she writes. In time, as she put more training principles into action, she noticed that she became more optimistic and less judgmental, and their twelve-year marriage was better than ever. What started as a goofy experiment had such good results that Sutherland began using the training techniques with all the people in her life, including her mother, her friends, her students, even the clerk at the post office. In the end, the biggest lesson she learned is that the only animal you can truly change is yourself. Full of fun facts, fascinating insights, hilarious anecdotes, and practical tips, What Shamu Taught Me About Life, Love, and Marriage describes Sutherland’s Alice-in-Wonderland experience of stumbling into a world where cheetahs walk nicely on leashes and elephants paint with watercolors, and of leaving a new, improved Homo sapiens.

Can I Give My Husband Back?
Author: Kristen Bailey
Publisher: Bookouture
ISBN: 9781838882396
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 396
Book Description
It's normal to prefer getting a filling at the dentist to spending time with your husband, right? I thought I was sorted on the life front. I was a heart surgeon with a loving partner and two gorgeous little girls. Except my husband's version of 'loving' is lying, cheating and sleeping his way around London. Which means I definitely deserve a refund. Unfortunately, moving on isn't that simple. Just because I know how to operate on a heart doesn't mean I know how to fix my broken one. Plus, I lost the receipt for him years ago so I'm definitely getting short changed. But now I'm single, am I ready to mingle? There are a few minor issues: The last time I went on a date double denim was in fashion and my eyebrows were horrendously overplucked. Men wear stupidly skinny jeans now. I don't know how to use dating apps but at least I don't have to get changed out of my pyjamas. Sometimes the most promising thing you have in common with a guy is a shared love of prawns. I don't know whether to open a date with 'hi' or 'hello' or 'hey' and once I ended up saying 'howdy'. Everything happens for a reason, they say. There's plenty more fish in the sea. But what happens when everything falls apart and you haven't got a clue how to go fishing? An absolutely hilarious and utterly relatable tale for anyone who has ever survived a nightmare relationship, felt a little lonely or nursed a broken heart with wine and carbs. This feel-good novel will get you back on your feet and genuinely laughing out loud. Perfect for fans of Why Mummy Drinks, Sophie Ranald and Sophie Kinsella. Readers love Kristen Bailey: 'Absolutely hilarious!! Seriously, I haven't been able to put this one down!... I have not stopped laughing... One of those books which is perfect after a stressful day because you are guaranteed to laugh out loud... Loved it... Devoured this book in just a few hours... Impossible to put down.' Little Miss Book Lover 87, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'One of the funniest books I have read. Ever!... I absolutely LOVED this.' Star Crossed Reviews, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'I can't even count all of the times I burst out laughing... I laughed so hard my cat jumped out of his bed scared out of his mind and gave me an evil look for disturbing his sleep... If you love a good laugh-out-loud story full of heart, love and banter and are not afraid to be that crazy person in public laughing like a total maniac, then this is definitely the book for you!'
