The First Husband
May 13, 2011

The First Husband
Author: Laura Dave
Publisher: Viking Adult (May 12, 2011)
ISBN-13: 978-0670022670

Annie and her boyfriend of 5 years live in LA.  Or as I call it, La La Land.  Sure enough she thinks things are great until he comes home telling her his therapist  has informed him that he needs to take care of himself and not others and should break off their relationship.

Well, she does the only sensible thing she can think of.  She goes to a bar.  She meets a man.  She drinks too much and hooks up.

But what she doesn't expect is to find herself married to him 3 months later and moved to Massachusetts.  No, she didn't expect that.

She also doesn't expect to have her ex-boyfriend show up at her door one day stating his therapist was wrong and he wants her back.

One shoddy guy she's known for years, one nice guy she barely knows but has made her his wife.  Decisions.  What's right for Annie?  What should she do?  Which life does she truly want, the glamor of LA or the day to day living of small town America?

That's what this book is about - Life choices, good or bad.

Welcome to the Dew Book Review Section!

Welcome to the Book Review Section at the Dew!

If you are a publishing house or author who has a book Southern in nature, or by a Southern writer, that you would like the Dew to review, please contact me at dewonthekudzu@gmail.com and I will provide you mailing information. (Wink wink, nudge nudge... the Dew has been getting a little lax about the Southern rule recently... just saying.)

The Dew tries it's best to have a review online as close to the publication date as possible, depending on the number of books waiting for review.

Please note, book reviews are the Dew's "business". The Dew does NOT post it's reviews on other sites. Please do not request that we do so. Thank you.

BUT, if I review your book, you may feel free to share it wherever you wish!
