The Starter Wife

From the New York Times bestselling author of Maneater comes a sexy, savvy, and wickedly funny novel about one woman’s life after her divorce from a Hollywood studio head.

When her husband, Kenny, unceremoniously dumps her by cell phone just months before their tenth wedding anniversary, Gracie Pollock is left reeling. She always believed she and Kenny were different from other Hollywood couples—not destined for the starter-wife cliché. But when Kenny kicks her out of the house and swiftly replaces her with a starlet girlfriend, Gracie’s life hits rock bottom.

When Gracie’s best friend offers her Malibu mansion as a temporary refuge, Gracie gratefully accepts. Armed with a loyal group of friends determined to distract her from the messy divorce—and a handsome stranger to fantasize about in the meantime—Gracie slowly gets back into the swing of life and discovers a kind of love and happiness she never knew she was missing.
