#BookReview: Been There, Married That by Gigi Levangie Grazer

Synopsis: 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.

Rating: ★★
My Review: Sadly this story just didn't work for me at all.  This 300+ page book felt more like a 3,000 page book. It was so slow I should have just put it down. But I am one of those readers who hate to DNF a title once I start.  So I trudged on and finished this book. This one had a lot of parts where I thought I was going to laugh so hard I was going to die. But in the end those parts just fizzled out and died.  The characters in this one just weren't very likable and their characters were just kind of all over the place.
