Been There, Married That by Gigi Levangie Grazer
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Review:

   Although I hated this book (and I mean 'throw against the wall' hate) for the first quarter, I'm glad I decided to try to go at least half-way because the book did pick up and fully hold my interest for the last three quarter's.

This was a quick beach read, that while a frustrating (and that's being kind) read especially about an intelligent woman in her middle decades, it is understood able because of being written about the film industry and it is a satire.

The first quarter is written in a sloppy, choppy, difficult to understand, mess that seems to smooth out later into something more intelligent (sort of---I sure did love Fin and her belligerence). Although I did not have any great belly laughs or even chuckles, I did have a few giggles.

A hilarious new novel full of Hollywood glitz, glamour, and scandal.

When he changes the locks, she changes the rules.

Agnes Murphy Nash is the perfect Hollywood wife – she has the right friends, the right clothes, and even a side career of her own as a writer. Her husband Trevor is a bigshot producer, and from the outside it looks like they’re living a picture-perfect celebrity life, complete with tennis tournaments and lavish parties.


But the job description of a Hollywood wife doesn’t cover divorce, which is the way Agnes’ life is headed after she comes home one day to find her credit cards cancelled and the security passwords to get into her enormous LA home changed. Oh, and there’s a guy there whose job it is to tase her if she tries to enter…which she does. Needless to say, Agnes’ husband is dead set on making sure she loses big time, but Agnes isn’t the type to just lie down and take it. In a world of fremenies and hot nannies, personal psychics and “skinny” jello shots, Agnes may be losing her husband, but could that mean getting her own life back?

Been There, Married That is a drop-dead hilarious battle of wills that will make you laugh out loud, cringe, and keep turning the pages to see what crazy disaster will happen to Agnes next…and how she’ll rise from the ashes.
