Hi everyone! Today’s Preview is a book that really caught my eye when I read the synopsis. Let’s see if you agree!

Synopsis from Netgalley:<\/u><\/b><\/p>\n

“It\u2019s 1938 and women seeking a quick, no-questions split from their husbands head to the \u201cdivorce capital of the world,\u201d Reno, Nevada. There\u2019s one catch: they have to wait six-weeks to become \u201cresidents.\u201d Many of these wealthy, soon-to-be divorcees flock to the Flying Leap, a dude ranch that caters to their every need. <\/p>\n

Twenty-four-year-old Ward spent one year at Yale before his family lost everything in the Great Depression; now he\u2019s earning an honest living as a ranch hand at the Flying Leap. Admired for his dashing good looks\u2014\u201cCary Grant in cowboy boots\u201d\u2014Ward thinks he\u2019s got the Flying Leap\u2019s clients all figured out. But two new guests are about to upend everything he thinks he knows: Nina, a St Louis heiress and amateur pilot back for her third divorce, and Emily, whose bravest moment in life was leaving her cheating husband back in San Francisco and driving herself to Reno.<\/p>\n

A novel about divorce, marriage, and everything that comes in between (money, class, ambition, and opportunity), Better Luck Next Time is a hilarious yet poignant examination of the ways friendship can save us, love can destroy us, and the family we create can be stronger than the family we come from.”<\/i><\/p>\n

I’m really looking forward to listening to this audiobook soon which has been produced by Harper Audio. According to the publisher it falls into the General Fiction and Literary Fiction genres. Look for my review shortly before its January 5, 2021 publication day.<\/p>\n

Are you adding this book to your To Be Read list? Let me know! Have a great day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
