\nIt’s 1938 and women seeking a quick\, no-questi ons split from their husbands head to the “divorce capital of the world\,” Reno\, Nevada. There’s one catch: they have to wait six weeks to become “ residents.” Many of these wealthy\, soon-to-be divorcees flock to the Flyi ng Leap\, a dude ranch that caters to their every need.
\nTwenty-fou r-year-old Ward spent one year at Yale before his family lost everything i n the Great Depression\; now he’s earning an honest living as a ranch hand at the Flying Leap. Admired for his dashing good looks—“Cary Grant in cow boy boots”—Ward thinks he’s got the Flying Leap’s clients all figured out. But two new guests are about to upend everything he thinks he knows: Nina \, a St Louis heiress and amateur pilot back for her third divorce\, and E mily\, whose bravest moment in life was leaving her cheating husband back in San Francisco and driving herself to Reno.
\nA novel about divorc e\, marriage\, and everything that comes in between (money\, class\, ambit ion\, and opportunity)\, Better Luck Next Time is a hilarious yet poignant examination of the ways friendship can save us\, love can destro y us\, and the family we create can be stronger than the family we come fr om.
