   Ingen Der er ingen diskussionstråde på Snak om denne bog.   bentstoker | Jan 26, 2024 |   ) DKnight0918 | Dec 23, 2023 |  ) thekellyfamily | Jul 29, 2023 | ― Dorothea Benton Frank, The Last Original Wife Love the quote. Did not love the book. I liked it at first. Leslie was a fun character and interesting to read about. The book kind of reminded me of something Olivia Goldsmith would write. Leslie is indeed "the last original wife". All the hubbys here have traded in their wives for new models. I sometimes really enjoy C hick Lit, especially when it has a trace of snarkiness, which I thought I might get here. But it grew old for me first. I will explain why but will be including spoilers so for anyone who has not read: SPOILERS: I was let down by the turn it took. Once Leslie leaves or "takes a break" from Hubby, she rekindles a spark with her ex in South Carolina and they reconnect. But the book was primarily about that. So, my main reason for not enjoying it was because what I had thought it was about..was not what it was about. I just got bored with it. I am not as much into romance novels as I once was but beyond that, I thought I was getting something a bit more edgy and fun and as I said, a little snarky. I thought it might follow along the lines of "First Wives Club" or something. Bit no. The whole book was mostly about Leslie and new new guy and frankly I just a bit tired of reading about them. The book might be better suited to lovers of contemporary romance. Like I said I do read romantic novels on occasion but I wanted a bit more meat in the story and just reading about this couple grated on me.

Leslie Anne Greene Carter is The Last Original Wife among her husband Wesley's wildly successful Atlanta social set. His cronies have all traded in the mothers of their children they promised to love and cherish??'til death did them part??for tanned and toned young Barbie brides.

She's had enough of playing the good wife to a husband who thinks he's doing her a favor by keeping her around. She's not going to waste another minute on people she doesn't care to know. Now, she's going to take some time for herself??in the familiar comforts and stunning beauty of Charleston, her beloved hometown.
