The Last Original Wife by Dorothea Benton Frank

4/5

This is a book about a couple, Leslie and Wesley, who have been married for over 30 years and have just entered couples counselling. The book then takes us back to look at their marriage, including how it got in trouble. Les and Wes had both conformed completely to their respective gender stereotypes, which leads to a rocky relationship with little to no communication and respect. Wes' friends have both taken on new wives half their age hence the title. Will the cutely named couple be able to make their relationship work? Do the readers even think they should work out their problems? Anyone will be able to appreciate this lighthearted book that gives a perspective on mature relationships.
