Summary
USA Today best-selling author Bethany Lopez brings you an all-new trilogy about getting a second chance at love. Follow Whitney, Summer, and Margo as they experience the good, bad, and ugly of dating again in your 30s and 40s. Join them in the Jilted Wives Club.
When life gives you lemons, make a Lemontini....
Divorced and jobless at 40-something, Whitney never thought she’d be starting over. But here she is. Single and (not so) ready to mingle - with anyone except him.
Luca leads a charmed life. He's got the perfect job, the support of a big Italian family, and a bevy of women eager to grant his mother’s wish for grandchildren...except the woman he really wants.
Now that Whitney’s starter wife days are over, Luca is determined to convince her to give him a shot.
Too bad the only shot Whitney’s sure of right now is the Lemontini.

À new start
Such a fun listen! This story has age gap, office romance, & single mom tropes. Britney, Summer & Margot meet when they all flee a support group. They seem like an unlikely trio of friends, but they work, and form The Jilted Wives club. Luca hasn’t had a relationship since high school, so his immediate interest in Britney is unusual. I got immersed in their story, navigating work & families. It’s a great look at divorce, dating, returning to the work force, merging families, and I appreciated the mature, thoughtful way Britney behaved. Krys Janae brought the characters to life brilliantly.

Funny & relatable!
Refreshing and funny, totally relatable and an all around enjoyable listen, Bethany Lopez's Starter Wife is a winner! I love her new adult books, but I do enjoy listening to the over 40 perspective too. Whitney is recently divorced, jobless and trying to start over after 20 years of marriage. When she joins a support group, she finds a couple of friends that she can easily relate to and they form the Jilted Wives Club. Luca, a successful businessman has not found the woman of his dreams yet. Sure, he has dated, but nothing serious. When Whitney crosses his path, his life is about to change.Will Whitney be willing to take the chance on love again? Is Luca willing to take on a woman with an ex and children? This romcom had me laughing and understanding exactly these women! There is a lot of emotional baggage incurred over 20 years as well as a fear of starting new. Let alone the handsome man is younger! The kids are spot on with their feelings and I love the interaction with Luca's family and Whitney's ex. It's got all the elements to make a heavy subject into a light and enjoyable listen. I loved it and can't wait to hear the next in the series.
Amanda Miller is our story teller and she gives us a wonderful rendition of the story. Good voices, easily distinguishable characters and an easy pace make the listen fly by. It was a fun story!

Contemporary Romance
Starter Wife by Bethany Lopez is a contemporary romance that I listened to on audio narrated by Amanda Miller. This is the first book in The Jilted Wives Club.
Bethany's books always leave me with a smile. I really enjoyed the relationship that bloomed between Whitney and Luca. I loved that we got both of their points of views throughout the book. It really brought the story to life.
I can't wait for the next book in the series Trophy Wife to be released on audio so I can get Summer and Noah's story.
Amanda did a great job on the narration. I look forward to listening to more of her work in the future.

Loved it
This is an age gap romance but with the Female being the older of the two. Luca knows what he wants it just takes Whitney a bit longer to see it given she's not long out of a messy divorce where her ex husband Cheater. The 3 girls who have all been divorced come together to make the Jilted wife group and are there for each other through the good and bad. Cannot wait to listen to Trophy wife.
