Forty-eight-year-old Nantucketer Dabney Kimball Beech has always had a gift for matchmaking.

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...."

So beachy enjoyable
Loved the very predictable and far fetched story. But isn’t that what we love about light, enjoyable summer reading. Some of the voices were a bit annoying. But I would still love to be Gracie. Spoiler alert to follow In fact, I was until the happy ending.

Laughed until I cried!
This was the very first audio book I ever listened to. Twelve years llater and it is still my favorite. The Starter Wife will have you in fits of laughter. I was driving alone in the car laughing so hard I had people in other cars looking at me like I was nuts. It got me through some tough times. it has some cursing and adult situations that shouldn't fall on little ones ears. The narrator brings every character to life and is my favorite female narrator. The writer picks such delicious fun at the Hollywood people and their lifestyle. You can not go wrong with this book. If you don't laugh your tail off, you need to be checked for a pulse.

Gigi spins another great tale!
Gigi Levangie Grazer stories are ideal mind-candy. The characters are not superficial nor are they too esoteric. You fall for the all! I even had sympathy for the "husband" character halfway through the plot; You really want to hate him but his development is literally perfect. My 2 thumbs up!

loved it! Just as good as the mini series from TV!
I first saw the mini series and decided I had to read the book. I bought a copy but never had the time to sit down and read. figured the audio version was my best bet to read the book. I loved it! the story like was great the performance was just as good. I recommend this to anyone looking for a good read with a few laughs from time to time.
