If your significant other left you and claimed you were boring, how would you react? In Autopsy of a Boring Wife, Québécois author Marie-Renée Lavoie gives us one option: prove them wrong. When 48-year old Diane’s husband leaves her for a younger and supposedly more interesting woman, she sets out to prove that she is, in fact, spontaneous and witty. Diane’s riotous and tender journey towards self-love is shared by the reader, and as the Toronto Star put it, “feels perfectly right.”
