The Divorce Papers by Susan Rieger
A sneakily clever (Kevin Kwan) novel of the lengths we'll go for that thing called love, from the author of Like Mother, Like Mother In her clever modern twist on the epistolary form, Rieger excavates the humor and humanity from a most bitter uncoupling.--Emily Giffin, The New York Times Book Review (Editors' Choice) A witty first novel . . . providing all the voyeuristic pleasure of snooping through someone else's inbox.--People Sophie Diehl is happily toiling away at an old-line New England law firm when Mayflower descendant Mia Meiklejohn Durkheim strides through the door. While dining at the most chic eatery in town, Mia was handed a most unwanted substitute for the wine list: divorce papers. Sophie reluctantly steps away from her criminal law casework to conduct Mia's intake interview and, to her dismay, Mia insists she take the case--Sophie is just who she needs to take on her soon-to-be-ex and his thuggish lawyers. For Sophie, the whole affair sparks a hard look at the relationships in her own life with parents, friends, and lovers. A rich, layered novel told entirely through personal correspondence, office memos, e-mails, articles, handwritten notes, and legal documents, The Divorce Papers offers a direct window into the lives of an entertaining cast of characters never shy about speaking their minds.
