This tongue in cheek novel will have you laughing out loud at times. Agnes tries to enjoy the lavish party thrown to celebrate her 48th birthday. She lives an almost enviable life married to Trevor, an Oscar winning producer in Hollywood. They have a tween daughter Pep with ADHD and very temperamental.

Agnes realizes that her marriage is rather unconventional with her husband feeling neglected. He resorts to having a “bed buddy” with whom to snuggle to assist his sleep. Clearly, the writing is on the wall that this marriage is in trouble. Although they have not been communicating effectively Agnes is not prepared for what happens next.

Agnes comes home one night to find she’s locked out of her gated community. She thinks this has to be a terrible mistake and proceeds to climb over the gate while arguing with security. She soon learns that her husband wants a divorce. Just as she settles into a guest room she is approached by Dorette to go over blueprints that will essentially create a map so that her soon to be ex husband doesn’t have to see her.

This book is loaded with the hilarious inner musings of Agnes as she evaluated her new reality. She begins to evaluate her past and how she ended up in this gossipy celebrity life. She ultimately decides how to save herself as well as her daughter from an unsettling Hollywood life.
