Oh What Could Happen with the After Wife?



This is my first Gigi Levangie Grazer novel.  Thank you for sending it to me. The After Wife is her most recent novel. 

Product DetailsSynopsis:

Hannah Bernal loves life, loves her husband, and their daughter.   One morning John leaves to run an errand but does not come back.  Hannah is in shock and immediately calls the Grief Team.   They are her friends which consist of her superior Jay, Chloe the blogger, and Aimee the middle aged actress.  They are always at her side ready to offer advice and drama.  Hannah loves and depends on her team but she also has developed a special talent.   Where will Hannah’s life turn?   Will she survive her husband’s death?

My Thoughts:

This novel is sad.  In this novel the main character is devastated with grief.   I thought the characters were very interesting and unique.  I did find it humorous to read about the antics of the Grief Team.    The author writes about a side of LA I have never known.  I liked this novel and was very interested to see how it turned out.   There is a little more to the title After Wife.  Hannah develops a new talent which involves helping people through different situations.  

The Grief team concept was very interesting to me.  Who would be on yours?  What you do you think you would do? 

 Rating

3.5/5

Have you ever wondered how Writer’s Corner came to be?                                        A blogger friend recently asked why did you start your blog?   I once said that I would never blog or write.   I was in a job search at the time and it was not going anywhere.   So I decided that I would work on my writing.   I found a nonpaying writing position with chicklitclub.com .   I started Writer’s Corner initially to practice what I wrote for that site.      The next part of the journey was meeting some great ladies that some of you know well Samantha Janning at Chick Lit Plus , Melissa Amster and Amy Bromberg from ChickLit Central , Laura Kay from A Novel Review , Pia from So Many Books So LittleTime , and last but not least Liz and Lisa fro...

The Importance of Complex Characters By Jacqueline Friedland

Photo by Rebecca Weiss A couple of years ago, there was a debate in the literary world about “likeable” characters.   The question, essentially, boiled down to this: must a character be unpleasant, whether angry or aggressive, selfish, or all gloom-and-doom in order to be taken seriously as a literary character?   When the debate arose, the focus was primarily on female characters— if a female protagonist has too many redeemable qualities as a person, does this detract from her substance as a character in a story?   This query nagged at me and took on a new shape during my writing Trouble the Water , as I watched my two main protagonists undergo journeys of personal growth that left them both decidedly more pleasant than the people they were when the story began.   The question I needed to answer was whether depth and meaning are negated by personal recoveries? My own take, as a reader, is that if I am going to spend hours reading a novel, hanging out with cha...
