My Husband's Sweethearts by Bridget Asher

The premise for My Husband's Sweethearts sounded good but that story lacked depth and the characters were plain and simple.

The characters are difficult to relate to and the novel is not necessarily engaging. I had to push myself to finish this book and was angry with myself for going through with it, when it ended.

I simply did not care for the characters or the story itself. It is a waste of time. There are too many good books out there, If I were you I would pass on this one.

If you MUST read it, check it out from the library or borrow it from a friend.

Synopsis
[B&N]

When Lucy discovered that her charming, cheating husband was dying, she came home, opened up his little black book, and decided she wasn’t going through this alone. After all, Artie’s sweethearts were there for the good times—is it fair that Lucy should have to manage the hard times herself? In this wise, wickedly funny new novel, Lucy dials up the women in Artie’s black book and invites them for one last visit. The last thing she expects is that any will actually show up.

But one by one, they do show up: The one who hates him. The one who owes her life to him. The one he turned into a lesbian, and the one he taught to dance. And among them is a visitor with the strangest story of all: the young man who may or may not be Artie’s long-lost son.

For Lucy, the jaw-dropping procession of women is an education in the man she can’t forgive and couldn’t leave. And as the women find themselves sharing secrets and sharing tears, they start to discover kindred spirits—and even something that’s a lot like family. But Lucy knows one thing for certain: the biggest surprises are yet to come….
