Description:

Take a splash of betrayal, add a few drops of outrage, give a good shake to proper behavior and take a big sip of a cocktail called…*Ladies' Night*! Grace Stanton's life as a rising media star and beloved lifestyle blogger takes a surprising turn when she catches her husband cheating and torpedoes his pricey sports car straight into the family swimming pool. Grace suddenly finds herself locked out of her palatial home, checking account, and even the blog she has worked so hard to develop in her signature style. Moving in with her widowed mother, who owns and lives above a rundown beach bar called The Sandbox, is less than ideal. So is attending court-mandated weekly "divorce recovery" therapy sessions with three other women and one man for whom betrayal seems to be the only commonality. When their "divorce coach" starts to act suspiciously, they decide to start having their own Wednesday "Ladies' Night" sessions at The Sandbox, and the unanticipated bonds that develop lead the members of the group to try and find closure in ways they never imagined. Can Grace figure out a new way home and discover how strong she needs to be to get there? Heartache, humor, and a little bit of mystery come together in a story about life's unpredictable twists and turns. Mary Kay Andrews' *Ladies' Night* will have you raising a glass and cheering these characters on. ** ### From Booklist Grace Stanton, a former interior designer now turned lifestyle blogger, seems happy with the way her life has evolved and with the small company she has built. Until she finds her husband cheating on her with her own personal assistant. Not fully equipped to handle such a devastating encounter, Grace does what any other startled, betrayed wife would do: she drives her despicable husband’s car into a pool. After that episode, Grace is forced to attend therapy sessions for divorcées, where she meets other angry “marital misfits.” She also moves in with her mother. Just when she feels she’s reached a new low, Grace invites the misfits to her mother’s beach bar, the Sandbox, where they begin hosting their “Ladies’ Night” sessions, plotting revenge on those who have hurt them but also learning how to move on and finally reach happiness again.
