Trash. Absolute trash. I literally read it on a bet. So Itotally enjoyed a book I would not otherwise have picked up, and Imade five bucks on the deal. Goldsmith's megaseller is fast, witty, frequently touching, and much smarter than I would have guessed.Reading The First Wives Club is like devouring a bowl of fabulously exspensive gourmet jelly beans: you know it's not going to enrich your life or better the world, but once you start, you're not going to stop until you're done. Despite the hype, not just a glitzy chick book. This is a really good vacation read.
