Ladies Night by Mary Kay Andrews

I just finished reading Ladies' Night by Mary Kay Andrews.  What a great book!!!

Review from Goodreads.com:

Take a splash of betrayal, add a few drops of outrage, give a good shake to proper behavior and take a big sip of a cocktail called…Ladies' Night!
Grace Stanton’s life as a rising media star and beloved lifestyle blogger takes a surprising turn when she catches her husband cheating and torpedoes his pricey sports car straight into the family swimming pool.  Grace suddenly finds herself locked out of her palatial home, checking account, and even the blog she has worked so hard to develop in her signature style.  Moving in with her widowed mother, who owns and lives above a rundown beach bar called The Sandbox, is less than ideal.  So is attending court-mandated weekly "divorce recovery" therapy sessions with three other women and one man for whom betrayal seems to be the only commonality.  When their “divorce coach” starts to act suspiciously, they decide to start having their own Wednesday "Ladies' Night" sessions at The Sandbox, and the unanticipated bonds that develop lead the members of the group to try and find closure in ways they never imagined.  Can Grace figure out a new way home and discover how strong she needs to be to get there? 

Heartache, humor, and a little bit of mystery come together in a story about life’s unpredictable twists and turns.  Mary Kay Andrews' Ladies' Night will have you raising a glass and cheering these characters on.

My take on the book:

I just loved the main character, Grace!!  She had a lot to deal with in the book and she did just that she dealt with it!  I really can say I liked all of the characters, they all added their touch to the book.  Well, I really didn't like Callie, Wyatt's wife/exwife.  But her character added to the story.   I don't know why but the whole time I was reading the book I kept thinking Grace's Mom would be played by Sharon Gless from Cagney and Lacey.  

The storyline of the book was really awesome.  I have to give Mary Kay Andrews alot of kudos for her lovely writing in this book.  I always felt like I was right there. 

I would highly recommend this book and I give it five stars *****!!
