Can anyone think of any novels about women navigating a divorce?

I can think of The First Wives Club.

Wondering about others.

Spring Music by Elvi Rhodes

I read it a couple of years ago. It was published in 1999 so seems very dated now. I found most of the characters unlikeable and I didn’t like the ending. Not a great recommendation Grin

"The Change" by Kirsten Miller

One Good Thing by Alexandra Potter is another one. Cosy type reading but there was a bit near the end that I didn’t like.

Heartburn by Nora Ephron

Mrs Fytton's Country Life by Mavis Cheek is very funny.

And of course, the absolute GOAT, The Life and Loves of a She-Devil by Fay Weldon. Perhaps not the healthiest way to rebuild but satisfying.
