'A very funny and perceptive look at the plight of second-timers' Richard & Judy If you like Jane Fallon, Adele Parks and Candace Bushnell, you will absolutely love this hilarious rom-com from Sunday Times bestselling author Jane Moore. A real-page turner and the tonic we all need! 'Moore has a particularly keen eye for the psychology of marriages... this is more than just a gripping read; it deserves to be a set text for relationship counsellors' -- Daily Telegraph 'A very funny and perceptive look at the plight of second-timers' -- Richard & Judy 'Entertaining and compelling' - Heat 'Funny, moving and at times tragic...Fabulous' - Company 'I absolutely loved this book' -- ***** Reader review 'A fabulous read, just couldn't put it down' -- ***** Reader review 'I read it in one day and stayed up till midnight to finish it' -- ***** Reader review 'A very good escape from reality' -- ***** Reader review ********************************************************************** SECOND DOESN'T ALWAYS MEAN SECOND BEST... It's Alison's wedding day, her gorgeous husband Luca is by her side, and everything is just perfect. Until Luca's first wife, Sofia, gatecrashes the reception and makes it clear that she's going to remain very much part of his life ... A stunned Alison soon finds an ally in Fiona, a founding member of The Second Wives Club and similarly plagued by her husband's ex. There she's introduced to Julia, whose husband has stayed best friends with his first wife, and to long suffering Susan whose entire life is surrounded by reminders of her partner's saintly former wife. For the women, The Second Wives Club is a refuge and a lifesaver- somewhere to bitch and to gossip and to share horror stories about the exes' latest excess. Maybe if they all have the same problem they can work together on a solution For enough is enough- it's way past time for the Second Wives to stop settling for second best ...
