Sweet story but predictable

Publisher's summary
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.

By the time Wendy Lawless turned 17, she'd known for quite some time that she didn't have a normal mother. But that didn't stop her from wanting one.... Georgann Rea didn't bake cookies or go to PTA meetings; she wore a mink coat and always had a lit Dunhill plugged into her cigarette holder. She went through men like Kleenex, and didn't like dogs or children. Georgann had the ice queen beauty of a Hitchcock heroine and the cold heart to match.

What Doesn't Kill You is the story of how Thomasina Hodges, a.k.a. Tee, loses her job and finds herself. Tee's evolution after her sudden and unexpected outplacement, is loosely based on the stages of grief - denial, anger, bargaining, depression, acceptance, relinquishing, readjusting, and reinvesting. For Tee, losing her job is like a death, but with time, and some bumps, bruises and a new attitude, she comes out on the other side, having reassessed what's important in her life.

In April 2002, Janine Latus' youngest sister, Amy, wrote a note and taped it to the inside of her desk drawer. "Today Ron Ball and I are romantically involved", it read, "but I fear I have placed myself at risk in a variety of ways. Based on his criminal past, writing this out just seems like the smart thing to do. If I am missing or dead this obviously has not protected me...."

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.
