As you can see, there's been a small change to the US edition.
Not only has it been repackaged with this cute blue cover, but Avon decided to change the name too, because they wanted to make sure everyone realised that the Stepmothers' Support Group was not just for stepmums but a novel about female friendship and modern relationships. After all, meeting 'The One' and finding out that there's been one before you could happen to any of us. And if it does, how do you cope? So, The Other Mothers' Club was born.
It will be out in the US on June 22nd. If you've already bought The Stepmothers' Support Group, thank you, and please don't buy this - it's the same book. If you haven't, then please go ahead! Either way, I'd love to know what you think both of the book and the new American treatment.
