Summary

The finale of Revenge of the Middle-Aged Woman left Rose emerging into strength and light. Her life had changed out of recognition but, yet, out of it had emerged positives. A tougher attitude. New friendships. Independence. A clearer sense of self. In her middle years, Rose had found her form.

But what of Minty, the woman who snaffled Rose's husband and her job? Now married to Nathan and the mother of six-year-old twins, she has achieved what many women dream of, the life of a well-to-do Yummy-mummy. Yet, the transition from bright, kitten-esque, sexy office siren to a coddled dependent is not entirely satisfactory. What happens to a contemporary Becky Sharp when she has achieved her objectives?

Worth listening to, but not captivating .

I enjoyed this book, but took a long time to get through it because I could turn it off quite easily. Well thought through, with reL characters.
I just think it could have been a little shorter.

Revenge of the middle aged woman was great, but the sequel not so great

Having read revenge of the middle aged woman, I was excited to see that there was a sequel, the second wife. I was disappointed, the focus was on an unlikeable character, Minty, with main characters who I really wanted to know about from the previous book barely developed.
