The irony of the loyal friends
Maggie believes that her circle of loyal friends will stand by her throughout. However, things start changing after her bank accounts start dwindling. Of all the friends, Merris starts distancing herself from Maggie because she is slowly becoming a burden. Ironically, friends who should stand by you at your lowest moments start running away when you most need them.
The irony of Maggie’s life
When Maggie married, she looked forward to a bright future full of love, wealth, and a united family. However, at 30, everything goes contrary to Maggie's plans. Instead of being a mother and a wife in a united family, Maggie finds herself hanging out with fellow divorcee women, dating men online, and going late-night shopping and drinking.
The irony of love
Love is sardonic because, even after the divorce, Maggie strongly loves John. Despite living freely as a single woman, Maggie sometimes blames herself for the divorce because she thinks it is her mistake. While John has moved on with his life, Maggie still loves him, but there is no way she can get back to him. Therefore, it is ironic that Maggie is in love with the man she divorced.
