Now here's a group with an edge. One that's kept well-honed, too. Although there are a few men in the group, it's primarily women who have been through bad marriages or bad divorces, dealing with residualhurt and anger. Members trade stories, offer emotional support, and share tips on dealing with the hardships. There's plenty of humor here, but much of it contains a well-deserved cruel streak. If you are in the throes of True Lasting Love, don't go telling The First Wives Club. Feeling bitter, perhaps? Then this is your scene. - E.L.
