YOUNG WIVES - Couverture souple

Meet the Young Wives: Angela, Michelle, and Jada, thirty-something women who appear to have lives as delicious as dessert.

But then, like a bad souffle, their lives separately collapse, as they each discover lies embedded in their marriages.  Betrayed, their love and trust crushed, their families virtually destroyed, they unite for solace and support.  While their nefarious husbands have won the first battle, the war has only just begun.

Sharing their misery and their dreams, they draw on each other's friendship and strength to heal their wounds - and reconstruct their lives.  Bowed but not beaten, this smart, audacious trio concocts a brilliant recipe to take back what's theirs and render justice on their duplicitous men - a brilliant lightning strike that will unforgettable transform them from victims to victors . . .

The perfect anti-Valentine's Day story, Young Wives is addictively funny with an edge.  Nobody understands "female problems" as well as Olivia Goldsmith, and here she is at her smart and satisfying best.

Angela, Michelle, and Jada, thirty-something women who appear to have lives as delicious as dessert...

A typical New Yorker, half-Jewish, half-Italian, Angela is a lawyer married to Reid, a handsome old-money WASP. Michelle adores her childhood sweetheart husband, Frank, and the dreamhouse 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 Angela, Michelle, and Jada 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, though, 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!
