My Wife's Boyfriend & Our Feud with the Highlands Ranch Homeowners Association

by Reggie Rivers

My Wife's Boyfriend and Our Feud with the Highlands Ranch Homeowners Association is a comedy about life in the suburbs. Howard Marshall is a successful executive who suspects that his wife, Sophia, is having an affair with one of the artists at her gallery. While he grapples with that possibility, he must also deal with an inept and overbearing boss, who thinks that all women have something to sell and that he can buy it, fend off a former lover who is married but still obsessed with Howard, and fight with the egomaniac micromanaging Nazis on the homeowners association board who believe they hold dominion over every square-inch of the neighborhood. This bittersweet comedy satirizes contemporary values and upscale, cookie-cutter suburban life.

I was going to give it a 2, but it was fairly entertaining. Not a keeper though.

Wanted to love it, as Reggie Rivers is a Denver hero whose OP-ed writing I really like. Little too much namename-dropping - is it important to me story that he wore Kenneth Cole shoes and she carried a Louis Vuitton bag? - or maybe that was part of the satire. But it was a fun read about an HOA micromanaging its residents.
