This book surprised me and I am still working through my feelings from the book. I love that this is a love story between two friends…two women who have been friends since they were 7…for over 25 years. Our society values romantic love over platonic ...more |

There are two storylines happening in this book that, of course, come together at the end, but the way the author handles them, I found it annoying and distracting. While I liked that the two main characters were women, bold women at that, I had a ha ...more |

| This book was recommended to me and I started reading it without any idea of what it was about and while I was a bit confused at the beginning, especially with so many characters, I quickly fell into the rhythm of bouncing back and forth between 1985 ...more | |

I read the author’s second book right before reading this and that might have been a mistake. She used essentially the same formula in both books which was fresh in one but tedious when read back to back. Once again the book starts and is somewhat cen ...more |

| When the main character was first described as old, I imagined her in her 70s. When I found out she was 57 I wanted to throw the book across the room. I’m 55, almost 56, and this is not old nor are most of us at this age as out of touch as the author ...more | |

This book surprised me in a good way. From the cover I thought it was going to be totally predictable and about an insipid woman and her tedious plight. But no, it was completely different from what I expected. While slightly ridiculous, the twists a ...more |

I am generally not a fan of short stories. I am often left wanting more, feeling like the story isn’t complete. This collection for the most part didn’t change my opinion of them. I did love the inclusion of the novella, Eve in Hollywood and really e ...more |

At page 60 I really hated this book, so much so that I skipped to the end to see if it was going to be worth my time to push through. After reading the last two chapters I decided to give the book another 50 pages and I am so glad I did. I ended up lo ...more |

| I cannot imagine being lost and adrift at sea for an extended period of time. What Maralyn and Maurice endured and persevered through is absolutely incredible. They were also pretty stupid and naive not to have any communication equipment for their s ...more | |

| While farfetched, I enjoyed the Deanna Raybourn's first book in the series, Killers of a Certain Age. It was great as an audiobook which I enjoyed with my husband on a long drive last fall. Perhaps I would have liked the second book in the series, Ki ...more | |
“Midlife blindsided me; I was totally unprepared for it. No one told me what to expect. No one told me how to prepare. No one told me how to take advantage of it. As I opened up to other women about some of these things, I learned I was not alone and decided to do something about it.”

“Our enemy is not age, but the media and product companies creating—or capitalizing on—the insecurities of aging women. The pressure to always be more of something, less of something else, and to walk the tightrope of acceptable behavior, is ridiculous. I, for one, would like to see more campaigns that stop putting women in tidy, little boxes.”

“As we are creating and assembling the pieces of our lives, it's difficult to see the bigger picture. We can take a step back to try to get a broader view, but even then, we don't necessarily have all the pieces or the right vantage point. We must have faith in the process and that we are doing our best possible work.”

“If we look at midlife as a time of exploration and let go of the end goal, we never know what might show up. It’s a time to play, be curious, experiment, and see what happens. It means getting uncomfortable (but really, if you’re in midlife, you’re already uncomfortable!) and letting go of expectations. The process never ends, which means you keep playing and experimenting, and there’s really no getting it right. It just is.”

“In midlife, it is way too easy to be on autopilot, but it's also the worst thing we can do for our health, happiness, and longevity. Midlife is an amazing opportunity to define what we want and who we want to be in the next half of our lives. We need to step outside our comfort zone , take risks, and claim our lives for ourselves.”
