Twelve years ago Lucy stole Gloria’s husband.
When he dies, in the most embarrassing of circumstances, the ex-wife and the widow are forced to face not just the other but also their demons. His death somehow frees Gloria and her life finally starts to come together, just as Lucy’s falls apart.
As Lucy’s life spectacularly unravels it is in full view of her nemesis. Gloria is the only one who could possibly understand what Lucy is going through—she was married to the cheating, sex-addicted bastard after all. What goes around comes around and surely Lucy deserves every moment of her come-uppance? She feels no sympathy or pity for Lucy.
At first…

I picked this up last year (January 2013) as an Amazon freebie under the title "What Goes Around," listed as same author. I've just tried to find it but it's not there (Amazon) anymore.
Here's the
Goodreads link.
Anyway, I just came to say this novel is strictly chick-lit. There's no F/F love affair. There's no HEA. I enjoyed reading this book (What Goes Around), but it's definitely not a true "romance" novel.
