Publisher's Summary:
Recently divorced, 40-something single-mom, Lucy, is lonely, bored, and craving physical connection. So, when her trusted long-time married friend, Nancy, begs Lucy to sleep with her husband to save her marriage, Lucy goes for it. It's such a success, the two friends invent a town-wide underground barter system whereby Nancy's married girlfriends sub-contract Lucy's divorcee friends to sleep with their husbands so they don't have to as often. It's a win, win, win - for a while. Then it all goes to hell in a hand-basket.
Laugh-out-loud funny, emotionally provocative and at times racy, Nookietown is a story of risk-taking, marriage, honesty, and desire, and what one woman rationalizes in order to get what she wants.

Meh
The plot was far fetched and vapid. I have honestly found sci-fi time travel more plausible. The supporting characters were either unlikable, one dimensional or flat. Sometimes in an ensemble scene I could hardly discern who was talking. What should have been an opportunity to examine the double standards placed on female sexuality ended up reading alternately like a soap box rant or a horny teenage journal. The book was peppered with of witty and some times even clever dialogue by the main character but honesty, if you are not being forced by a book club it's not worth reading 50 pages of nonsense for the charming paragraphs that pop up every now and again.
Hard to believe it's her first book
Picked up this book after my wife finished it and started flipping through it... wound up reading it cover to cover over the weekend. It was a great, fun read. Well written, smart and funny. Some sex, but the plot and the dialogue are strong. Really good writing and thought-provoking content. Looking forward to her next book.

not interested in sex lives of 30 somethings...not for me...
Great RomCom Reading!
So funny. Such a great wild ride Ms. Chickering takes us on with this novel. I love the bantering between friends, the descriptions of the "smug marrieds" to quote Bridget Jones Diary and even the pathos of loneliness that echoes throughout. And the sex? Well, I consider that a sweet bonus for my bedtime reading. The sex in 50 shades was not sexy, it was not liberating it was awkward. This sex is well, sexy. One of the smartest, most hilarious books I have read in a long time.
