Sparkling and sophisticated, this sometimes hilarious, sometimes heartbreaking debut novel tells the story of a very messy, very high-profile divorce and the endearingly cynical young lawyer dragooned into handling it.
This book by Susan Rieger is written through a series of letters, memos, and emails between the characters. It’s unique and witty. The way it is laid out is fun, and I enjoyed hearing the story from different character perspectives. There is a lot of “paperwork” included, you know, copies of negotiations from the divorcing couple in the book, and honestly, some of it is long and drawn out. I tended to skim over the really long bits of that, as I felt the story was still complete without all the extra. I suppose it fits well with the title, though, and therefore, has it’s place. I enjoyed the book and read it in 2 days.
You can actually read the first few pages yourself, to get a feel for the story. I love that authors are allowing that now! GO HERE to do that.
I received this book from Blogging for Books for this review.
