Acerca de esta escucha
Marcy Hammer's life has been turned upside down. Her husband, the head of a global brassiere empire, didn't think twice about leaving her after thirty-three years of marriage for a 32DD lingerie model. Now Harvey the Home-Wrecker is missing in action, but Marcy's through thinking about what a cliché he is. What she needs now is a party-size bag of potato chips, a good support system, and a new dress.
Striking out on her own is difficult at first, but Marcy manages to find traces of humor in her heartbreak. Even while devastated by Harvey's departure, she still has her indomitable spirit and her self-respect. She has no intention of falling apart, either, even when her adult children drop a few bombshells of their own and she discovers a secret about her new, once-in-a-lifetime friend. Life may be full of setbacks, but by lifting herself up by her own lacy straps, Marcy just may be able to handle them all.

Historia
Forty-one years old, the last of her friends to marry, and down to a size 12, Lauren Leo is in her gown and about to tie the knot. There’s just one thing missing: the groom. With one blindsiding text, Lauren is unceremoniously dumped at the altar. In the aftermath, her mother is an endless well of unsolicited advice (Stay on your diet and freeze your eggs). Her sisters only add to the Great Humiliation: one is planted on Lauren’s couch while the other is too perfect.

To keep her cash-strapped school afloat, Maggie says yes to a sweet deal from Silicon Valley’s hottest for-profit education company.

Leaving one widow behind is unfortunate. Leaving three widows behind is just plain despicable. Oil heiress Kate Steele knew her not-so-dearly departed husband was a con man, but she's shocked that Conrad racked up two more wives without divorcing her first. The only remnant of their miserable marriage she plans to keep is their lakeside cabin in Bootleg, Texas. Unfortunately, she's not the only woman with that idea.

Family doesn’t mean everyone has to like each other. That’s the case when cousins Taryn, Anna Rose, and Jorja return to Shamrock, Texas, to help manage their grandmother’s flower shop, the Lucky Shamrock. The reunion isn’t exactly a beautiful arrangement—considering they’re as compatible as ranchers and coyotes. Thank heaven for a handsome go-between like Clinton, who lives above the shop.

Rich wife whining about her divorce
What did you like best about Lift and Separate? What did you like least?
Marci is funny but other than that the story is like a thousand others about a women going through a divorce. I would like one of these novels be by a women who is working and having trouble paying the bills and is not being supported by the husband they despise in a lavish life style. Having done divorce for 35 years the wife cheats as much as the husband but it is always the husband in these novels.
What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)
There is no real ending. She learns to go on with her life like six billion other people
Which character – as performed by Donna Postel – was your favorite?
Marci is funny which is the only saving grace of this novel.
Could you see Lift and Separate being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?
No
Any additional comments?
I listen to this novel waiting for a real story to develop but it was like a thousand others. Wife learns to live on her own, like it is a great achievement.

Almost gave up during beginning - too much whining, but as other characters and their problems were introduced the story picked up. Good job by narrator.
