Publisher's summary

Take a splash of betrayal, add a few drops of outrage, give a good shake to proper behavior and take a big sip of a cocktail called…Ladies' Night!

Grace Stanton's life as a rising media star and beloved lifestyle blogger takes a surprising turn when she catches her husband cheating and torpedoes his pricey sports car straight into the family swimming pool. Grace suddenly finds herself locked out of her palatial home, checking account, and even the blog she has worked so hard to develop in her signature style. Moving in with her widowed mother, who owns and lives above a rundown beach bar called The Sandbox, is less than ideal. So is attending court-mandated weekly "divorce recovery" therapy sessions with three other women and one man for whom betrayal seems to be the only commonality. When their "divorce coach" starts to act suspiciously, they decide to start having their own Wednesday "Ladies' Night" sessions at The Sandbox, and the unanticipated bonds that develop lead the members of the group to try and find closure in ways they never imagined. Can Grace figure out a new way home and discover how strong she needs to be to get there?

Heartache, humor, and a little bit of mystery come together in a story about life's unpredictable twists and turns. Mary Kay Andrews' Ladies' Night will have you raising a glass and cheering these characters on.

Critic reviews

“Kathleen McInerney does a terrific job bringing the characters to life in this witty story…McInerney makes each of the characters distinct and recognizable and gives each the perfect voice, accent, and vocal mannerisms. Most enjoyable and well performed.” —AudioFile Magazine

“Tongue-in-cheek humor, wit, and sophistication are the hallmarks of this eyebrow-raising life adventure, sure to provide a popular pick for public library audiobook collections.” —Wisconsin Book Watch

Fun, light read

I liked the book because the story's main character Grace was someone who was funny and smart in a real way; the rest of the characters had distinct personalities and baggage. Interesting twists and turns in each person's life, just a smidgen of drama and a happy ending made it an easy, fun read.

Divorce Camp 101

Well, not exactly what I expected, I thought I was in for pure humor and levity and found that I got quite emotional in a number of the scenes.

If you have ever been through a divorce this may drug up some old memories of your own experience.

At one point, I almost stopped listening to the book, I had already determined the outcome, but there were portions of the story that were disturbing to me.

Lacking in voice range

Good story pretty predictable though. Biggest issue I had with story is the narrator lack of character voice range. All the men parts sounded the same and a little drunk sounding. The child’s voice was whiny and not pleasant to listen too. The storyline was interesting for being fairly predictable. Recommend listening to preview before buying.

Very engaging!

This book kept having me eager to get in my car or go to the gym to listen. Excellent reader! Great variety of voices and characters.

Fun story with a few twists and turns!

Exciting!

it was a great story and it definitely kept my attention. I couldn't wait to find out what happened next.

Luke warm

I enjoyed the book for the most part but I must admit that there was nothing very exciting about it at all. In one way it's was nice that it was just a consistent good story, but on the other hand I was anxious for some juice! I felt intrigued to hear the story after the way that it started pissed me off on the behalf of married women everywhere! I just had to know what happened to Grace and her cheating husband! I was satisfied, but not having a climax in a novel is new to me.

Love Mary Kay Andrews but this was a bit long

The headline says it all. I have really enjoyed all the Mary Kay Andrews books. I liked this one too but I think it was a tad too long. The characters were fun and the narration was very good. I just felt like the story was being dragged out for no apparent reason. I would recommend this book but I liked some of the earlier ones better.

Fun story

You are going to Love this fun tail of divorce and laughter and a little bit of naughty!

This is a good, calming book to take your mind of the busyness of the day.
