Husbands and Other Sharp Objects
Husbands and Other Sharp Objects | Marilyn Simon Rothstein
10 posts | 10 read | 7 to read
A heartwarming, hilarious novel for anyone who has ever had a family, from the author of Lift and Separate. After a lifetime of marriage, Marcy Hammer is ready to get herself unhitched--just as everyone else in her life is looking for a commitment. Her new boyfriend, Jon, wants to get serious, and her soon-to-be ex-husband, Harvey, is desperate to get back together. When her headstrong daughter announces a secret engagement to Harvey's attorney, Marcy finds herself planning her daughter's wedding as she plans her own divorce. Now with two huge events on the horizon, the indomitable Marcy soon realizes that there's nothing like a wedding to bring out the worst in everybody. From petty skirmishes over an ever-growing guest list to awkward confrontations with her sticky-fingered new in-laws, pulling off the wedding is going to be a challenge; seeing her divorce through is going to be a trial. And trying to make everyone happy might prove to be impossible--because in the end, Marcy alone must make a choice between something old and something new.

Mostly light family dramedy about Marcy who is divorcing her cheating husband, trying to help/manage her bridezilla daughter, and trying to move on with her life with a nice new professor/artist boyfriend. Apparently, this is a sequel. It was a fine stand-alone.

Haven't managed to keep up with reading all the books with a woman holding something #behindherback, but this looks like another good one for the #tbr.

Because I need something light to read while also reading an ARC that seems a bit more complicated. AND I‘m on vacation, and a solid ten days with my hubby is a LOT, so this seemed an appropriate grab from my kindle shelf. #toomuchtogetherness

I'm on a role with these audiobooks. I can't even remember the last time I listened to the radio. 😆 So far this is kinda cute. I'm enjoying the humor even though this seems to be for an older woman. The main character, Marcie, is probably 50 to 60 years old. She has a 31 year old daughter...

I thoroughly enjoyed the beginning of Marcy's story in Lift and Separate and book 2 did not disappoint where Marcy Hammer, Queen (soon to be ex) to the King of Brassiere's and Bosoms,begins to navigate her new life as a single woman and mother to 3 grown children. New friends and old, love gained and love lost, weddings and babies,this book has it all! I adored Marcy's strength, her humor, and grit in the face of some of life's toughest situations

LOVED, LOVED this book!! First time reading a book by this author and now I have to order her debut novel. If you enjoy family drama with lots of humor, read this book! #NetGalley

KateFulfordAuthor If you need another recommendation in a similar style, may I point you to my People‘s Book Prize nominated debut? Sassy female narrative, laugh out dialogue and a pacy plot. Check the link in the bio for 2 free chapters, reviews and more. 6y

What!!! I signed up for #Netgalley last night, and was not expecting to be approved for much seeing as how the only place I review is on Litsy... but in less than 24 hours I was approved for 10 (though I haven‘t figured out how to open the other #arc thru Dropbox yet) ♥️
So excited to start reading these ARCs but also laughing at myself because there goes my #mountTBR challenge for this month. 😂😅📚🤫🤓

Bostonmomx2 That‘s awesome. I get rejected for almost everything 🤪 6y

kgriffith Hmm, wonder if there‘s a reviewer drought? I fell behind on my reviews a while back so I‘ve been too ashamed to show my face on netgalley since, maybe it‘s time to try again? 😋 6y
