Pittige, aardige Jessica Monroe is 34 jaar en tevreden met haar bestaan als single. Ze heeft geen haast om de man van haar dromen te vinden. Haar vriendinnen denken daar anders over en plaatsen een advertentie voor Jess op een datingsite. Tegen beter weten in werpt Jess zich in de wereld van online dating, waar kikkers zich als prinsen voordoen en waar de prins op het witte paard slechts één klik verwijderd kan zijn. Een hilarische reeks desastreuze afspraakjes is het gevolg. Sexy Simon knijpt er stiekem tussenuit en laat haar met de rekening achter. Graham afficheert zich als Ferrari-rijder maar blijkt toch vooral monteur te zijn. En dan ontmoet ze Ben, een gevoelige lieverd, bij wie Jess heerlijk haar hart kan luchten, maar die gewoon te aardig is om sexy te kunnen zijn. Dan wordt Jess aan het denken gezet door een tragische gebeurtenis die haar diep raakt. Zo vraagt ze zich af of de kwaliteiten die ze in een man zoekt wel echt de kwaliteiten zijn die ze nodig heeft. En of cupido samen met de mysterieuze e-mailer, nog andere pijlen op zijn boog heeft...

Behind every good man there's the other woman ... It's Alison's wedding day, her gorgeous husband Luca is by her side, and everything is just perfect. Perfect that is, until Luca's first wife gatecrashes the reception and makes it clear that she's going to remain very much part of his life ... A stunned Alison soon finds an ally in Fiona, a founding member of The Second Wives Club and similarly plagued by her husband's ex. There she's introduced to Julia, whose husband has stayed best friends with his first wife - to Julia's intense irritation - and to long suffering Susan whose entire life is surrounded by reminders of her partner's saintly former wife. For the women, The Second Wives Club is a refuge and a lifesaver: somewhere to bitch and to gossip and to share horror stories about the exes' latest excess. But maybe if they all have the same problem they can work together on a solution? For enough is enough: it's way past time for the Second Wives to stop settling for second best ... Gloriously witty, and written with a sharp-eyed intelligence, The Second Wives Club is Jane Moore at her very best.
