This story is incredible and deep, yet entertaining at the same time. In fact, I don't believe I've ever read a Christian fiction novel before that did such a fabulous job capturing the emotion a divorced woman feels and the self-condemnation that goes along with the whole situation. Billerbeck brings out some important truths through dialogue and relationships that is emotionally moving. I wish there were more books likes this in CBA. It's so real!

This is my third experience reading Kristin Billerbeck's books, and I can always count on her books to give me a good laugh. And while there's a good dose of humor in this book, The Trophy Wives Club deals with a very difficult topic: divorce. I cannot imagine being blindsided with a divorce after being married to a man I thought loved me, but apparently, never did. This is exactly what Haley Cutler experiences, and this book follows her journey of self-discovery.

I really never quite got the concept of trophy wife until I read this book. It is set in LA and Haley, the main character got married at 20 to a B grade movie producer and while she loved him, he represented security to her, but he was not a good husband. The story picks up when he decides to divorced her or upgrade to a new 20 year old (Haley is now 28). Haley's divorce settlement is pitiful. She must get a job, make new friends and reestablish her self-esteem. She joins a support group at

This book is about a former trophy wife whose much older husband leaves her for a younger woman when she is only 28 years old. Her husband’s divorce lawyer gives her information about a bible study at his church for woman who have been given a raw deal in life. Haley is forced to learn the basic life skills that she never had a chance to learn from the women since she married when she was twenty and relied on her ex husband for everything.

i finished this book in a few short hours. I didn't realize it was a christian themed book and i just kept reading it. It was an interesting story but it seemed to be fully hinged on the main character being 'saved' or claiming jesus or something. I'm not sure I liked the ending since it was way too simplistic. (oh and she gets the guy at the same time she becomes born again)

I liked this book. I would have preferred a little more romance (too little, too late) and a little less self-pity and angst from the main character, but I appreciated the central concept -- Haley's spiritual and psychological journey/transformation. It would be wonderful if all women had friends like the Trophy Wives!

I've read Kristin Billerbeck's chic lit before and really enjoyed it, but this one was just okay. I decided that if I had a really rich friend going through a divorce, this would be the book for her. So, I probably won't be recommending it to anyone.

The title refers to become a prized bride of Christ. It is a interesting book but there seems to be a gap between the last chapter and the epilogue. I would probably read the book again and would recommend for light reading.

This was my first foray into Christian chick lit and it was pretty good. At times I felt the dialogue was forced and I skimmed some of it, but I'll probably try this author again.

Kristin Billerbeck has done it again. Another amazing book that will have you laughing and crying right along with the characters.

The author is a religious writer but not LDS so it was different to get insight from another religion. But the plotline was okay.

This book was great, the main character was a little whiney and spoiled but she grew on me!

What a fun book! Haley was such a likeable character...even though I couldn't really relate to her, I had no trouble rooting for her. This was a light, easy read and one of the things I enjoyed most was that it was Christian chick-lit but with a main character that was still struggling with her relationship with God. She had fallen away from her faith and she worked her way towards coming back throughout the entire book, without the theme becoming "preachy." I am looking forward to rea

This book was good. It was the first time I ventured into Christian fiction at the library. I was hesitate about reading it (not real sure either, guess I prefer my sermon in Church, not in bed reading), but it wasn't preachy.
The book is a series and I plan to add the rest to my reading list.

she wrote what a girl wants and that is what inspired me to read this. i would not say it was bad, but i was honestly not expecting the christian overlay on top of the story. it was a good compliment to the rest of the book, and i am glad i read it.
not sure if i will get the sequel.

The idea behind the story is actually pretty interesting, which is why I brought the book at the first place. But it turns out the character was shallow, so does the plot, seems like everything in this book is NOT deep. Nope, didn't like it at all. It's not even entertaining, for me at least.

A decent book. Not my favorite from this author, but still a good read that I didn't want to put down at night. After reading this book, I definitely know I am middle-class and always will be. Don't think I want to be upper class.

This was an easy read. There wasn't a whole lot of substance, but it was still enjoyable...and as I said...easy...when I'm ready to crash at night..it's entertaining enough, but I don't have to be too alert.

Guess I never completed my review of this one. I really like Kristin Billerbeck, but I really DID NOT like this book. Usually I read her stuff as soon as it comes out, and I was very disappointed in this one.

I love this author. Light fluffy books that make for a great read, enjoyed the main character's journey as she came to Christ and how the story ended.
Even happier to see that there is another book!

This novel was rambling and disjointed. For Christian fiction it just doesn't explain the converting of the main character. One second she's doesn't believe, the next she does?
