**********************************************************************
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 ...

Wow! This book was amazing! It also put a spin on something I've never thought of before- second wives. My mum is a second wife, and I hope she wasn't put through the same stuff as the woman in the book (although I suspect she wasn't).
It's also interesting that the marriages ended differently to what I predicted. I thought Nick and Susan would break up, and that Luca and Alison would have a baby.
Overall, very good. Loved it.
