Wives Behaving Badly
by Elizabeth Buchan

This is a sequel to Revenge of the Middle-Aged Woman, which I read about a year ago. It takes place seven years after Minty stole Rose's job and husband Nathan from her. Nathan and Minty are now married with twin sons, a house that Minty has completely redecorated, strained relations with Nathan's adult children, and all the tedium that comes with daily life. Rose, on the other hand, is thinner and tanner, with a new and very successful career and a rekindled relationship with the man she loved before Nathan. And then an unexpected event throws all their lives into chaos.

I'll admit that I was more than a little happy to see that Minty's fortunes had taken a bit of a downturn from the last book while Rose's were on the upswing (which I'm sure had nothing to do with my age). Ultimately, the author is kind to her characters and gives them a better resolution than they perhaps deserved. Like the first one, there was nothing Earth-shattering about this book, but it was an enjoyable read.
