Better Luck Next Time by Julia Claiborne Johnson

Thank you Net Galley and HarperCollins Publishing for the ARC. The idea for this book was intriguing. I did not know that there was such a thing as divorce ranches in 1930’s Nevada. The story of Ward, one of the Cowboys that worked at The Flying Leap Ranch was interesting; however, I would have preferred to learn a little more about how the ranches were run, the women who sought refuge there while awaiting their divorces rather than the very limited story of Ward and Emily. Overall, it was a good read and did compel me to do some research on the divorce ranches out of curiosity but would have liked the book to expand a little more on the concept.
