When her husband Kenny dumps her (by cell phone) mere months before their ten-year wedding anniversary, Gracie Pollock finds herself reeling. Though her role as the wife of a semifamous Hollywood studio executive often left her cold, Gracie had grown accustomed to the unique privileges extended to Tinseltown's power elite: reservations at Spago on a Friday night; beauty treatments by dermatologists (Arnie), manicurists (Jessica), and colorists (Christophe) to the stars; line-jumping at Disneyland with her daughter and Ugg-wearing celebrity offspring. And despite consenting to naming their daughter Jaden in a (failed) attempt to lure Will Smith into one of Kenny's productions, Gracie believed she and Kenny were different from other Hollywood couples. She never thought she'd be a starter wife. But now that her marriage is over, she's a social pariah, and it's only through a faux pas by her world-class florist that she learns her husband has upgraded: Kenny is dating a pop tartlet.With images of the 'tween queen everywhere she turns, Gracie seeks refuge at her best friend's Malibu mansion for some much-needed divorce therapy. Soon she's associating with all the wrong people, including a mysterious hunk who saves her from drowning, the security guard at her gated community, and--God forbid--Kenny's boss, one of Hollywood's better-known Lotharios.With her signature wit, sassy style, and cameos of the rich and famous--and wannabe rich and famous--Gigi Grazer tackles the most delicious and dastardly details of a divorce and recovery, Hollywood style.… (plus d'informations)

Wonder what happened to Lou ( )

Entertainingly snarky tale of the Hollywood subculture of the Wives Of almost-somebodies. The main character's husband, a studio executive, informs her by cell phone that he wants a divorce, and she's torn between terror at losing her pampered lifestyle and relief that she no longer has to press herself into the mold of Wife Of. The novel loses a bit of oomph as a secondary (?) romance plot intrudes. ( )

This book was just okay. It took me absolutely ages to read and I kept willing it to end so I could pick up something more interesting! ( )

I found this book okay. It felt a little slow for me and I wanted it to speed up and subsequently end! it got more interesting towards the end.

I loved the descriptions of life in California, the bizarre situations that are "normal" there, and how unglamorous it can get. The denouement was a bit too fairy-tale like for my tastes, but in its own way, shows how influential a Hollywood ending can be. ( )
