About this listen

 "Sizzle Factor: SPF 50. A secret marriage, lies about affairs . . . even sex on the day of the divorce party" (USA Today) a novel by the author of the New York Times Bestseller and Reese's Book Club Pick, The Last Thing He Told Me

The second novel from Laura Dave, the acclaimed author of Eight Hundred Grapes and Hello Sunshine. In The Divorce Party, she captures a much-discussed cultural phenomenon that has never been profiled in fiction before-divorce celebrations-with her characteristic wit and warmth. Set in Hamptons high society, The Divorce Party features two women-one newly engaged and one at the end of her marriage-trying to answer the same question: when should you fight to save a relationship, and when should you let go?

An insightful and funny multi-generational story, this deeply moving novel is sure to touch anyone whose heart has weathered an unexpected storm. Family Life Fiction Genre Fiction Literature & Fiction Women's Fiction Divorce Funny Heartfelt

I loved the writer’s debut. Assured, sparky. And I was excited to read more of her work. However, my journey with her ends here. The constant repetition (“She stood in the hall. Stood in the hall of the great house. The great house that had weathered the storm. The storm that…”) is so grating. She uses the same tic in her dialogue so all the characters sound the same. Couldn’t finish it.

Irritating repetition
