Better Luck Next Time by Julia Claiborne Johnson

3.0

I waited a long time for this book from the library. I wanted something lighter to read, and I found it here. I also found a rarity--a book billed as funny which actually was funny. Bittersweet as well--didn't much care for Emily's choice and can't help but speculate that her life couldn't have been all that happy. A husband kissing some random woman while in town trying to convince his wife to not divorce isn't going to be that faithful going forward, I imagine. Portia was thoroughly disagreeable, even beyond the sullen teenage bit. Didn't know anything about these divorce ranches before this book.
