Meet the young wives---Angela, Michelle, and Jada, thirty-something women who appear to have lives as delicious as dessert...A typical New Yorker, half-Jewish, half-Itaalian, Angela is a lawyer married to Reid, a handsome old-money WASP. Michelle adores her childhood sweetheart husband, Frank, and the dreamhouse he's provded for her and their two beautiful children. Jada is an African-American wroking mom trying to maintain a happy home despite her husband Clinton's failing business. But then, like a bad souffle, the lives of Angela, Michelle, and Jada collapse as they each discover the truth about their dirty, rotten mates.
