Getting Rid Of Matthew

Watch the trailer here!

Helen loves Matthew. She’s sure of it. Otherwise, why would she have endured years as his faithful mistress? Years without a full night spent together, years of waiting to be called “the Mrs.”

But when someday becomes today and Matthew leaves his wife, Sophie, Helen suddenly realizes she isn’t so keen. Matthew is mopey and messy and impossible to get rid of. So Helen decides she needs a plan: Stop shaving my armpits. And bikini line. Pick holes in the way he dresses. When that fails, new plan: Accidentally, on purpose, bump into Sophie. Fake a new identity and befriend her. Begin to really like Sophie (unplanned). Befriend Matthew’s two teenage daughters. Unsuccessfully. Let everyone at work believe that another co-worker is the real home-wrecker. Watch your whole plan go wrong. Absolutely. Terribly. Wrong.

With her caustic wit, intelligently drawn characters and a story that’s a terrific contemporary twist on the classic “other woman” tale, Getting Rid of Matthew is a highly entertaining, completely satisfying read.
