The Exit Strategy

. . .Grinning on demand wasn't how a woman got taken seriously in a world where testosterone dripped down the walls. . .

     How, in this day and age, can any woman with a brain, not appreciate such wisdom, grit, and determination?
     Drawn in immediately, reading The Exit Strategy, a women's fiction novel by Lainey Cameron and recent release out of the Wild Rose Press is a perfect marvel. An anthem to women supporting women, standing for each other in good times and bad, teaching and supporting.
     Ryn Brennan is brainy, courageous, and has worked her tail off to get where she is. Unfortunately, her choice in husbands sucks. Adding insult to injury, said suckee, not only cheats on Ryn but also sets her up to fail in her latest business venture by manipulating a boardroom confrontation between her and his side piece. A perfect guarantee to submarine both women's lives and careers. This then becomes the perfect fantasy for the reader as she turns the pages: how will these two women exact revenge on a less than sterling mate? While it may not be what some of us would have liked, in the end it is perfect.
     Not to be out-classed, the supporting cast in this truer than life novel are equally diverse and incredibly well drawn. Dialogue is snappy and laugh out loud at times. We see good things in Lainey Cameron's future.

On a scale of 1-5, The Exit Strategy deserves a 10.
