The Penny Pinchers Club by Sarah Stromeyer

I enjoyed this book except for the fact that there is no apostrophe in her title. It just a small thing but I think someone should have corrected that! I have never read a book by this author because they seem to be of the chick lit genre which is not my favorite. The title made me pick it up and the inside flap made me check it out. Kat is a bit of a compulsive shopper married to an academic named Griff who is a bit tight with money. You can tell all ready that trouble is brewing, can't you! After almost 20 years of marriage she is still madly in love with him and she thinks the feeling is mutual - until she uncovers some evidence in his pants' pocket.......and then finds some questionable e-mails sent to his cute grad assistant......and then finds he has a secret credit card and a bank account with $10,000 in it. She discovers in the e-mails that after their daughter leaves for college he is going to tell Kat everything. Sounds like a divorce is pending. When she finds out how much a divorce will cost, she is shocked. She vows to get out of debt and save some money for when Griff leaves her.
Fun story, good read.
