Old Boyfriends by Rexanne Becnel
The Barnes & Noble Review
Longtime bestselling author Rexanne Becnel moves from historical romance to "girlfriend books" with ease in this engaging novel of three women at the crossroads of their lives. When M.J.'s rich husband dies during a "therapeutic massage" and leaves her penniless, her best friends rally around. There's Bitsy, the former debutante who has piled on the pounds during an increasingly remote marriage, and Cat, the twice-divorced designer who still harbors scars from her trailer trash childhood. Suddenly a road trip to New Orleans for Bitsy's high school reunion sounds like a really good idea. Looking up old boyfriends is part of the plan: Cat reconnects with Matt, now divorced and the local sheriff; Bitsy's old boyfriend, Eddie, turns out to be available; M.J. is more attracted to a man who repairs foreign cars, a tough guy in a wheelchair. The great appeal of this book lies in Becnel's refusal to give her characters easy solutions and her willingness to explore the messy, complicated relationships between men and women, mothers and daughters, and fathers and daughters.
