Still Hot: The Uncensored Guide to Divorce, Dating, Sex, Spite, and Happily Ever After by Sue Mittenthal, Linda Reing

Product Details

Synopsis

One day you log onto the computer and notice that your husband has a secret screen name: HotRod287. Next thing you know, black turtlenecks and a leather bomber jacket are his hip new signature look. And those long blonde hairs in his sports car? Sorry sweetie, but they're not from your golden retriever. Because they have dark roots - under your magnifying glass.

Still Hot is a completely hilarious and saucy survival guide that takes you from the first inkling that your marriage is toast to regaining your long-forgotten inner peace, and all the bizarre tragicomedy that comes in between.

Throughout, you'll get practical tips, like:
• how to trash those photos of your ex (Send his new babe all the shots that show more hair in his ears than on his head.)
• what to do if your bedroom seems vacant without him (Buy a giant fern.)
• creative ways to meet new men (Get a job in a urologist's office.)
• invaluable first-date DONTs (Never call your divorce lawyer from the table.)

Through checklists, quizzes, and wacky vignettes, you'll recognize yourself on every page — playing Internet solitaire on Saturday night, memorizing the generic name for Valium (diazepam), weeding out the geeks on match.com, and praying that your ex's new babe's implants will rupture. In a public place.

Still Hot is the perfect girlfriend gift. Buy it for yourself, your friends, your sister, maybe even your mother - anyone, in fact, who could use a good laugh when she finds herself suddenly single.
