Small town girl meets rich Hollywood producer, falls in love, and signs a ridiculously one-sided prenup. She's a classic blond knockout. He's a classic narcissist. (Sorry guys...) The marriage lasts almost - but not quite - 8 years. Prince Charming teaches the little lady to be the perfect arm decoration. She knows what to wear, where to shop, who to be seen with, how to entertain. Until one inevitable day when Starlet of the Month catches the Prince's eye.The fairy tale crumbles and Haley Cutler finds herself locked out of her home and abandoned by her "friends." Hence, her road to self-discovery and independence that ultimately lands her in a relationship with her ex-husband's bigshot divorce attorney. Yeah...the same guy that got her to sign the prenup worth $10k per year. (I'm pretty sure that's less than minimum wage.)
This book could've been hilarious and endearing, but fell short in both areas. The main characters were cast in the worst of stereotypical molds, and the peripheral characters appeared to gain trust and places of prominence based upon cliche' and convenience. It was one of those books you continue to read in the hope that it will suddenly get better. Unfortunately, that's simply not the case. The ending is weak and sappy, leaving the reader with a sense of relief that they can check this one off the reading list and move forward.

It's a good thing that I read your review because I probably would have picked this one up.
