Still unpublished in Brazil, Laura Dave debuts with the funny and unusual "The Divorce Party." Due to its subject matter, the book was the subject of debate in several literary forums, becoming a bestseller. Critics are considering the author a potential successor to Marian Keyes in the chick-lit genre. "The Divorce Party" takes the reader into the lives of two women who find themselves at opposite ends of their marriage, one getting divorced and the other about to confirm her dream relationship. Despite all their differences—distance, financial status, age—Gwyn and Maggie have one thing in common: they are both at a crossroads and face the same questions: how far should you try to stay with the person you love? When is it time to give up? Laura Dave's bestseller presents an increasingly common custom in the United States: the celebration of a breakup. This may seem strange to Brazilians, but for the people of the United States, this moment, when consensual, should be celebrated. This is because those involved were brave in their decision and because now they can finally be happy, even if with other people. Laura gets to the root of the most important issues and makes the reader believe in all aspects of love, even divorce. "A revealing and honest portrait of how love unites us... and tears us apart." (O, the Oprah Magazine) "The events unfold over the course of a day, but the lessons learned last a lifetime." (Elle) "It gives food for thought and will be talked about." (The Boston Globe)
