A hilarious novel full of Hollywood glitz, glamour, and scandal from New York Times bestselling author Gigi Levangie.
When he changes the locks, she changes the rules.
Agnes Murphy Nash is the perfect Hollywood wife – she has the right friends, the right clothes, and even a side career of her own as a writer. Her husband Trevor is a bigshot producer, and from the outside it looks like they’re living a picture-perfect celebrity life, complete with tennis tournaments and lavish parties.
But the job description of a Hollywood wife doesn’t cover divorce, which is the way Agnes’ life is headed after she comes home one day to find her credit cards cancelled and the security passwords to get into her enormous LA home changed. Oh, and there’s a guy there whose job it is to tase her if she tries to enter…which she does.
Needless to say, Agnes’ husband is dead set on making sure she loses big time, but Agnes isn’t the type to just lie down and take it. In a world of fremenies and hot nannies, personal psychics and “skinny” jello shots, Agnes may be losing her husband, but could that mean getting her own life back?
Been There, Married That is a drop-dead hilarious battle of wills that will make you laugh out loud, cringe, and keep turning the pages to see what crazy disaster will happen to Agnes next…and how she’ll rise from the ashes. AMAZON LINK

Wow, what did I just read? It was a whole slew of different. I have to admit as I was reading the beginning chapters I wasn't so sure that I was going to like or even finish it. But I kept reading and found that it was odd, it was quirky, dysfunctional, emotional and as hard to imagine it was also funny. A lot of that humor comes from main character Agnes. She seems to the only normal woman in a sea of nipped, tucked, botoxed, medicated women. Along with a ton of Hollywood shallow people. Her successful husband Trevor is the top of the list when it comes to being neurotic and self absorbed. He can take care of business when it comes to his career. But in his daily life? He wouldn't know normal if it bit him in the butt. But he is one mean dude when it comes to divorcing Agnes. There isn't anything too low for him to do. He wants to win no matter what. Destroying anyone one in his way and Agnes is in his way. And he sure pulls dirty trick after dirty trick. I kept wondering how on earth was Agnes going to get the upper hand in this one. Too bad she wasn't the bad guy in this just has been a victim for way too many years. When I think of Trevor one word comes to mind...anal.
Their daughter, Pep (short for Penelope) is healthier than you would expect her to be but that is mainly I think because of Agnes.
A strong supporting character is Agnes sister Fin. Not your usual run-of-the-mill sister which made her really interesting. You mess with Agnes and Fin is going to make you pay..in very creative ways.
Of course the ways things ended up were just as quirky and unusual as the beginning. Quirky but satisfying and once again with some funny moments. So I ended up liking it but with some reservations!
