A Boring Wife Settles the Score

A Boring Wife Settles the Scoremarks the return of Diane, the raunchy and entertaining heroine of the prize-winning and bestsellingAutopsy of a Boring Wife. Despite the end of her marriage, Diane still has plenty of love to give. Determined not to waste her days that's just not her style she finds a job in a daycare and solace in cocktails with her best friend, Claudine, who convinces Diane her love life is not over. Diane wants romance and sees no reason why she shouldn't have it, but she soon discovers, in her typically chaotic and hilarious manner, that for a woman approaching her fifties the task is not so simple as it is for a man.
