The Divorce Party-- Book Review


 On their 35th anniversary, Gwyn Huntington and her husband Thomas have invited friends and family to their Montauk home. Instead of celebrating their decades-long love, they are toasting their divorce. This also marks the weekend that their son brings home his fiancée, Maggie Mackenzie, for the first time. Maggie thought she was joining a perfect family, but she is about to reckon with some uncomfortable truths about the man she wants to marry.




A multi-generational story about what it means to share a life with someone, The Divorce Party brings us two immensely appealing women: Gwyn who is stumbling upon the end of her marriage, and Maggie, her future-daughter-in-law, who is trying to navigate the beginning of hers. With emotional candor and surprising humor, these two women find themselves trying to answer the same questions: Can you ever really know someone? When should you fight for the person you love most, and when should you begin to let him go? (Goodreads.com)
 
I loved the 2 womens point of  views. This is chick lit.
 
Maggie is meeting the family and everyone seems to have a secret that gets revealed through out the book. Gwyn is throwing the divorce party and she has some secrets too.
 
It did get me thinking about marraige and relationships and what a person does to whether the storms of life.

I related to Gwyn because I have been married for many years. This is supposed to be made into a movie soon.
 
This is to me good for a 1 time read-- 3
 
Thanks so FSB Associates for the book. This is my honest review of this book.
