Professional Review:
A candid (albeit at times tongue-in-cheek) expose of the challenges of remarriage, told from the second wife's perspective. Unlike books written by those who have never experienced being a second wife, the author of Ex-Wives and Ex-Lives is an ex-wife, a second wife, a bio-mom, and a stepmother. Reading this book is like sitting down with an old friend - a remarried friend who knows first-hand what you are going through. You will come away with the assurance that you are not alone in your struggles as a second wife. Even more, you will know that it is not you that is crazy, but rather the crazy-making situation called remarriage.

   Summary: More realistic book than many others
I've been in 2 marriages with step-baggage so I have personal experience here. This book was more realistic than others in the feelings a new wife may have, but it really doesn't get into the dirt. I never had bad feelings or jealousy toward my husband's first wife until she barged into our lives and started acting like she was still married to him. In no way should you be, as the author said "the forgotten toy at the bottom of the toy box". If you are, then you're doing it all wrong. I've (after much prodding from friends) have decided to write my own thoughts and maybe one day my book will be here. Until then, if you're a new wife and need some consoling that you are not crazy, selfish or alone in your feelings, then by all means read this book. Welcome to the sisterhood.

   Summary: Good to feel normal!
The beauty of this book is not in the advice (it has no tips, or practical tools) but in the opportunity it offers the reader to identify with the writer's situation. I am a divorced woman seriously dating a man with an ex-partner and a daugther and always felt "weird" due to the emotional reactions I had around certain situations, particularly those that involved his ex. Given that I had little support from family and friends (none are divorced or dating people with ex-es), the book was a welcomed reassurance that my emotions were NORMAL!

 Rating 3   Written on January 11, 2007
   Summary: Not what I thought
It was an ok read. It didn't really fit my situation. Know that this book concentrates on two divorce people with kids getting remarried. I have never been married and my husband has been married twice and has one child with each ex. This book also concentrates on stories of the husband not being suppotive. My husband is wonderful in helping me in the situation But the ex-wives are spawns of the devil. The have both tried every trick in this book. and they are good firends! I was looking for something more about how to handle the ex-wives.
This is a good read if you have both been married before and you are having trouble with the kids and ex-wives not being accepting to you or if your husband is not being very supportive of the situation. This book makes you feel like you are not alone in this battle. After you read this book make your husband read it also.

   Summary: Somewhat informative, but disappointing
I did not get quite what I was looking for when I purchased this book. Was hoping there would be more information to help me get through and understand some difficult things in dealing with an ex-wife. It did help some, though.

 Rating 4   Written on June 30, 2006
   Summary: The last one wins. . . .
I had really been struggling w/ my boyfriends ex wife and his ex life. When I seen this book I knew I had to get it and I am glad I did. So many things in the book were exactly what I had been going through. This book not only helps you learn how to cope and deal w/ your significant other's past but it also helps validate your feelings. I got a peace of mind from this book realizing that it was not just me. That the things I have been experiencing are normal and to be expected. I also let my boyfriend read it so that he could see and understand for himself what I go through. The book is well written and blunt, the author does not sugar coat the issues, which I like. The book will help you realize that it does not matter that there was one (or however many) before you, all that matters are you are here now. The book said something that I had never really thought about before and that is the fact that although I may never be the first wife I can be the last and that is all that matters. I would encourage anyone who is having to deal w/ an ex wife and an ex life to read this book.
