Three women unite—and fight back—after their husbands do them wrong, in this tale of “wickedly funny female bonding” by a New York Times–bestselling author (People). Angela, half-Jewish, half-Italian, and all New Yorker, is a lawyer married to Reid, a handsome old-money WASP. Michelle adores her childhood sweetheart husband, Frank, and the dream house he’s provided for her and their two beautiful children. Jada is an African American working mom trying to maintain a happy home, despite her husband Clinton’s failing business. But then, like a bad soufflé, the lives of these three thirtysomething women collapse as they each discover the truth about their dirty, rotten mates. Uniting for solace and support, they draw on one another’s friendship to heal their wounds. Bowed but not beaten, this smart, audacious trio will concoct a brilliant recipe to take back what’s theirs and serve justice on their duplicitous men—and transform them from victims to victors . . . This is a “riotous” tale from the bestselling author of such beloved novels as The First Wives Club and Fashionably Late (USA Today). “Chances are good that you’ll like these women and love this book.” —Daily News (New York)
