Sports Wives

Mary Wulf is married to professional baseball player, Gary Wulf. She and Gary have been drifting apart, and she has been having an affair with his agent, David Rowe. She arranges a weekend get together with her friends and fellow sports wives and during the weekend she is planning to tell them she is in love with David and wants to end her marriage to Gary. Meanwhile, the other wives may be hiding secrets of their own. This is story about female empowerment. It is about women taking charge of their lives. It is also about female bonding. It is about a group of women who come together and support each other instead of tearing each other down. This is a welcome change from the usual stories about groups of woman which involve a lot of cattiness and women against each other instead of in support of one another. The women in this story just happen to be the wives of celebrated athletes but they could be any group of women. If you like books with a definitive ending, you may be a little disappointed. However, the book is still worth reading for its exemplary treatment of the friendship between these women.

I really liked this book! Each woman brought humor and strength to the table and I enjoyed the open and candid conversations. It reminds me of my own friends and when you realize you are more like sisters.

This book was extremely charming and relatable. It was a different insight on women and relationships, it was nice to find that those you think may have the perfect life, may just be as well struggling as your average day couple. There were some points where it was hard to understand who was saying or thinking what. But other than that this was an easy to read chit lit book!
