ok so I LOVE the new series "The starter wife" and on one of the commercials it said based on the book or something and I was wondering if any one knew what book it was about. I really need a good summer read, and if anyone knows the title and author, I would really appreciate it.

"The Starter Wife" was just released in paperback to coincide with the show's debut; the cover now features a smiling Debra Messing.
The book is by Brian Grazer's wife Gigi (Gigi Levangie Grazer also wrote "Maneater'), and the summary goes as follows: When her husband, Kenny, dumps her by cell phone (!) mere months before their ten-year wedding anniversary, Gracie Pollock is dazed and confused. Though life as the wife of a semi-famous Hollywood studio executive often left her yawning, Gracie always believed she and Kenny were different from other Hollywood couples. She never thought she'd be a starter wife.
But Kenny has upgraded, and with images of his new pop tartlet girlfriend everywhere Gracie turns, she seeks refuge at her best friend's Malibu mansion. Then a mysterious hunk saves her from drowning and suddenly drowning in her sorrows seems like a waste of time. And when she takes up with Kenny's boss, one of Hollywood's better-known Lotharios, she discovers that maybe life after divorce -- Hollywood-style -- isn't so bad after all!
It's pretty much what you'll see on-screen.

The Book is called "Starter Wife" by Gigi Levangie Grazer
If you like this series check out "Army Wives" on Lifetime...it is also really good.
