Just not my type of book. Almost ended up on my DNF list but found time to finish listening while purging my sewing stash. I didn't realize this was a follow up to "The Revenge of the Middle-Aged Woman" I had read years ago but had forgotten. After I found that out the title finally made since. Many women will like this book so use your own judgement. ( )

This is the sequel to: " Revenge of the Middle-Aged Woman", which of course I had never heard of until I began to write this review..... and another odd thing (not really if you know me); I began this book at well over a year ago, put it down next to my bed & forgot all about it, because, well after all, I have all those Library books w/ due dates on them, and this had no due date at all.

From Amazon: "Minty and Nathan are married and have twin boys, but Minty's life as a second wife is more difficult than she'd anticipated: Nathan's friends shun her, she's deemed a threat by other married women, Nathan's adult children despise her and full-time motherhood isn't her cuppa tea. So Minty goes back to work at a London television production company, only to find a young, unattached and ambitious colleague nipping at her heels.

Things go from manic to molten after Rose (Nathan's first wife & Minty's former best friend & mentor) reenters the picture and a tragedy (Nathan's death) sends what's left of the family into a tailspin."

The only wives "behaving badly" were Minty's two friends... and Nathan's daughter, Poppy (who in-between bouts of hatred turns to Minty for help) and his Daughter-in-law.

The book was ok, just run of the mill "chic-lit", nothing great, no great story, but from the point where I picked it up again it held my interest and I finished it in two nights.

This sequal to Revenge of the Middle-Aged Woman focuses mostly on Minty, the best friend who stole Rose's husband. Those who rooted for Rose in the first book will be pleased to see Minty less than charmed by married life, and Nathan seemingly unhappy, distracted, and still with Rose on his mind. Those who look for neatly packaged happy endings probably won't be wild about this one, but it does end nicely. ( )

A sequel to Revenge of the Middle-Aged Woman, a quick and airy read about the second wife syndrome and how it comes to affect the woman who had the affiar in the first book. ( )

Sequel to Revenge of the Middle-Aged Woman and it's the story of the "other woman" Minty - now married to Nathan Lloyd. 7 years or so married with 6 year old twins, marriage to Nathan isn't quite what she expected. His kids make her life miserable, his friends won't allow her around and she's working parttime but wants to work fulltime. Oh - and his ex-wife Rose is still in the picture.
It was an enjoyable book. ( )
