It's not what you think but you keep reading until the end.

 
  "THE FIRST HUSBAND IS WONDERFUL! HAVE HER TALK TO YOUR BOOK CLUB!" by jill (see profile) 07/15/11

I LOVED THE FIRST HUSBAND. It is a moving story about a travel writer who learns to stop looking outside of herself to figure out what she needs most.

It isn't often you find a book that can literally make you laugh out loud and cry, all at once. The characters are entirely lovable. And Dave had me thinking about my own life - and feeling happy with my choices.

Laura Dave's writing simply is unmatched. There is a wisdom and beauty to how she writes about love and family. And the fact that this novel is a page turner seems like the ultimate added bonus. I read this book in one sitting - couldn't put it down.

Laura came and talked with my book club when her last novel was released. And she is just like her writing: open, engaging, smart.

Every summer is a "Laura Dave" summer and I can't wait for next summer already!

Cute book and perfect for a light read if you need your happy ending fix. However, some of the twists weren’t that surprising and had pretty expected outcomes.
