This is such fun, full of incident, full of great characters and smattered with some wonderful one-liners. Ruby, our heroine, is a delightful character with hidden depths despite the fact that she doesn’t believe in herself. Unknowingly she married a trickster and when he gets carted off by the police her life takes a very different turn. A pacy read with lots of heart.
Comparison: Jill Mansell, Katie Fforde, Harriet Evans.

How to Lose a Husband and Gain a Life Synopsis
On the surface, Ruby Gallagher has the perfect life: an adoring husband, Manny, a beautiful home and a luxury lifestyle that involves shopping, holidays and not much else. It's safe, predictable - exactly what she needs after her turbulent past.
Until one day it all collapses as Manny is arrested for fraud. And it seems it's not only his business deals that have been shady - Ruby discovers he's been hiding a mistress and son too. But as her designer lifestyle is repossessed, Ruby dusts herself down and starts again. With the help of some good friends, bad wine and a new business venture, Ruby discovers that she's a lot better off without her husband holding her back. If only he would see it that way . . .
Fabulous characters and a warm and funny story make How to Lose a Husband and Gain a Life unputdownable.
