Nora Glasser is living a nightmare. Not only did her famous
artist husband leave her for a younger (and more fertile) woman, but then they
have the audacity to move to her small town and rub her nose in their happiness
and wealth. Nora has to see them living their extravagant lifestyle with the
daughter she always wanted, while she walked away with nothing, except a
precious journal of sketches of her that her ex, Hugh, now wants back. Not even
her Pilates class is sacred, as Hugh’s new wife, Helene, shows up to that too.
So it’s no surprise that she fantasizes about doing them bodily harm, but when
that actually happens in real life, Nora is suspect number one. To make matters
worse, she can’t trust her own memory, and worries that she’s the one who committed
the crime. Tips for Living leaves you wondering until the end: did she or didn’t
she? This debut novel by Renée Shafransky is a fast-paced page turner with a satisfying (but unpredictable)
end.
