Reviews"Lehr turns out a frothy escape novel that examines a cross-section of contemporary Los Angeles divorcées who become fast friends despite themselves...Lehr keeps the plot moving with madcap hijinks and tender moments." - Publishers Weekly “Like Olivia Goldsmith before her, Leslie Lehr has done the impossible: She's made divorce into a winning, funny and inspiring activity, if one fraught with the sadness of mistakes made and lives changed. Wife Goes On isn't fictionalized self-help or mundane chick-lit; it's about loving, escaping and living again, the hard road to finding relevance... and the joy found in occasionally running over every rut and divot in that very same road. Just like real life.” --Tod Goldberg, author of Simplify, Living Dead Girl & Fake Liar Cheat "Leslie Lehr is a truth teller -- a rare writer who untangles the realities of women's lives without flinching, while making you laugh, cry, and nod in understanding with every word." --Leslie Morgan Steiner, editor, Mommy Wars, and daily online work/ columnist for washingtonpost.com "Wife Goes On is a tantalizing romp through the world of the newly divorced, featuring a group of women who are vulnerable, smart, resourceful, wonderfully resilient, and wickedly funny. Anyone who's been through a bad breakup will recognize the heartaches and triumphs that rise from these pages." --Hope Edelman, bestselling author of Motherless Mothers “Sexy and fabulous!” – Jerrilyn Farmer, bestselling author of the Madeleine Bean Mysteries “Underlying the sass and verve of Lehr's prose are trenchant insights on relationships, friendships and motherhood--not to mention the kind of wisdom that comes from hard knocks plus a few good laughs!” --Samantha Dunn, author of Faith in Carlos Gomez "Wife Goes On is a hopeful romp of sex, humor and friendship." --Bruce Bauman author of And The Word Was Voice America
