Something New
If you stop trying new things, you might as well just stop.
Ellen Ivers has it a nice house, great kids, and a husband who loves her no matter how much she’s let herself go. There’s just one Ellen is completely, utterly bored. Maybe it’s a mid-life crisis, or maybe it’s just time to make a change. Ellen starts taking care of herself and decides to start trying new things. As the pounds melt away and she begins to feel more comfortable in her own skin, Ellen’s cousin prompts the former writer to enter a blog competition.
At first Ellen is hesitant; after all, what exactly is she supposed to write about? But soon the words start flowing and Ellen gains confidence, in part because of the attention she’s getting from her cousin’s new neighbor, handsome detective Ben Campbell. Both Ellen and Ben are married with kids, and they know their friendship is heading down a dangerous path. As her attraction to Ben grows and her blog starts attracting a lot of interest, everything else in Ellen’s world begins to unravel. Now, she finds herself wondering if the life she has is what she really wants, or if something new is exactly what she needs…

"Something New" by Janis Thomas is one of the best books I've read in 2013. And I read a lot! Hilarious, extremely well-written and so relatable, "Something New" captures the feelings, thoughts and desires of a 40 something year old woman on the cusp of major change. Having kids, being a wife and trying to figure out the next stage of our lives is something most moms think about, and I tore through this book dying to see what Ellen would do (and write) next. I absolutely loved this book and would recommend it to anyone looking for a laugh out loud read with an inspiring and authentically flawed main character.

Book Review: Okay, um. WOW. Definitely a five star book. I'm at a loss for words because I really loved this book and am so excited to discover a hot new writer in the world of Contemporary Women's Fiction. This created a bit of anxiety at first because I knew I'd have to wait to read book #2 and I was afraid that might take a while - but low and behold, great news! Janis has another book, Sweet Nothings coming out July 2013 so I only have to wait five months. And, okay. I couldn't help myself - I did a little research and found out that Sweet Nothings (book #2) has a baking storyline which is going to be delicious to read because the author loves to bake. The main character's name is Ruby, which is super cute because Janis (the writer) has a dog named Ruby so I suspect she had fun writing the book and I know it's going to show in the reading. At the end of this book review, I speak about the importance of the words 'something' and 'new'. When you read those observations, apply what I say to the title of her second book, Sweet Nothings. Perhaps we've uncovered both theme and premise in these two books. I dunno. Final general observation, I noticed both book covers feature a woman's leg from the calf down wearing a beautiful high heel but with an ironic item in the artwork (Astroturf on one, a red balloon in the other). I especially love the shoe on the Something New jacket with its exquisite ribbon embroidery. OMGosh. Gorgeous the way the textiles in Downton Abbey are gorgeous. Made me drool. I wonder if this book jacket design will become a hallmark of Janis Thomas covers.
Main Character: Ellen Ivers. First, she's hysterical. I laughed so many times I started dog-earring the pages not to hold my place between readings but to mark the many locations in the book that had me laughing while reading. Second, as a mom, she's that perfect blend of laid-back and overwhelmed which makes her oh so approachable because I identified with her immediately. Third, she appeals to a lot of women because she's 42, her marriage has grown a bit stale, she's in the midst of raising three kids and caught in the endless cycle of housework and carpooling with nothing left that's just for her. Is she having a mid-life crisis? I think so. Definitely. Yes.
Two Inciting Incidents: First, when her best friend and cousin, Jill, challenges her to enter a blog contest sponsored by a popular woman's magazine, it awakens a long-buried love of writing in Ellen. She reluctantly starts blogging and her blog entries are intertwined with the storyline and each one is such a treat, you'll want to earmark those pages so you can refer back to them. Second, low and behold, the morning she first learns of the blog contest, she also meets Jill's new next door neighbor, the very hot detective, Ben Campbell. Which brings me to my next point.
The Detective: You won't find any spoiler alerts in the book reviews I write. So I'm not giving anything away in the storyline when I say I was especially moved by the writer's choice of Ben's profession, that of a private detective. Yes, a character's profession often matters in the storyline because their profession could give them special skills, access to special things, a predisposition for certain personality traits, etc. So, yes. I wondered as I read how the role of detective would play out. You'll have to read the story - but hold this thought in your mind as you read: Ellen undergoes a deep transformation in her life as a result of deep self-examination. So I ask you, who's the real detective in this story? Ellen? Or Ben?
Importance of 'something' and 'something new': I'm going to close this book review with my favorite excerpt, but before I do, let me start by saying this read was a therapeutic read for me. The use of the word 'something' both in the title and throughout the book is important, so pay attention to it when you see it. It was carefully selected by the writer because it conveys what I feel is one of the greatest take-aways from the book. Which is this: For Ellen, her something was the blog. For you, it may be something else. But for all of us, there's 'something' that's important and we need to pay attention to it or risk losing our way. Taking it a step further, when we take the word 'something' and stretch its meaning by adding the word 'new', we get 'something new'. That is, try something new. Do something new. Perhaps, find something new in something old. Lifting a (very important) quote from the book, perhaps its own inciting incident wrapped up in one tidy little sentence, "If you stop trying new things, you might as well just stop." This 'something new' concept could be the next big thing and I'd urge book clubs members to challenge each other to try something new after reading this book. If you want to feel even closer to the concepts in the book, after reading, log on to Janis's website for a cute video she posted December 3, 2012 about something new she's tried that has to do with reality shows and baking. You'll smile watching her talk about it, be inspired to do something yourself, and of course, you'll want to follow that up by drinking a beer with a friend. For a chuckle, watch Ester Goldberg's video review, too.
Favorite Excerpt: Chapter 15 page 201: "Ellen Ivers has done something to be proud of, something she can point to and say without modesty, I did that! I know that for a woman, children are a great source of pride, and I am exceedingly proud of my children, but I have to share that success with Jonah [my husband]. And really, I have always believed that being a good mom isn't something you should be proud of, it's just something you should do. But this blog is all me, and that fills me with a sense of validation and purpose that I thought I'd lost somewhere between diapers and Big Wheels and projectile vomit from a four-year-old's overindulgence in corn dogs."
May I suggest 'something new' for you and your friends to do today? Discover Janis Thomas. You'll be glad you did!

From an outsider's perspective, Ellen Ivers has the ideal life. But as she's approaching her forty third birthday, she's realizing that her life has become a bit stale. Yes, she has a husband and kids who love her but she craves more. She decides that a personal reinvention is necessary. She starts watching what she eats, exercising more and even doing things she never thought she would. When her cousin convinces her to enter a blog contest, Ellen was hesitant at first, but thought … what the heck? Not knowing what to blog about was stressing her out. But when she starts blogging about what’s going on in her life, it becomes therapeutic for her. It also doesn’t hurt that no one knows that it’s her behind the penname SomethingNewAt42. So it allows her the freedom of being honest without the concern of being caught!
When a hot piece of meat moves into the area, aka Ben Campbell, the local moms go into sexual over-drive! But to Ellen’s surprise, it’s her that Ben has his sights on. No matter that they are both married, Ellen can’t deny that having this hot, new guy giving her attention does wonders for her ego and self-esteem. But when their friendship starts to grow beyond friends, Ellen starts to wonder if the grass really is greener on the other side. Is she willing to throw away the family she loves and the comforts of home for this stranger who is suddenly giving her the attention that she so craves?
I can’t even begin to express how much I loved this book! As a woman who is about to turn the big 4-0 this year, I can relate to Ellen’s need to spice up her life a bit and also make some personal changes. I felt that the book was well written, relatable and the humor was one point! I love, love, loved this book and recommend it to any woman who has ever wished that her life could be a bit different. Another amazing book by Janis Thomas.

“Something New” by Janis Thomas is the story of a bored house wife who decides that it is time to make a few changes in her life. Ellen goes on a diet, begins to exercise, and give more attention to her appearance. Quite by chance, Ellen’s cousin tells her about a blog competition. The idea grows on Ellen, who had put her writing on hold to raise her three kids, and she reluctantly decides to enter.
While on a visit to her cousin’s house, Jill meets the next door neighbor, handsome detective Ben Campbell. What starts as a tongue-tied first encounter, quickly moves toward a flirtation with a strong sexual tension.
Ellen’s husband, Jonah, who was just fine with her appearance, begins to feel a bit threatened when he sees the changes in his wife. He starts to shut down on her. But with her blog getting more and more attention and her encounters with Ben moving closer to intimacy, Ellen’s life begins to teeter. Was she right to try “Something New” or should she have been content with what she had?
Janis Thomas wrote a thought provoking book that is so appropriate for the times.

What a fun, thought-provoking, and intriguing book this turned out to be. It's a beautifully well written novel that captures the reader's attention. The characters in the novel are so genuine, every facet so authentic, almost as though I was privy to someone's personal and private thoughts written in a diary. I highly recommend every married woman out there (especially those in their 40's), with or without kids, read this novel.
By the way, I love the book cover. What a beautiful shoe. :)

Awesome Book. Had Never Read Anything By Her. Love It. Highly Recommend.

It started out good but fell flat about halfway through.

Loved the beginning, humorous and, oh, could I relate. But not to announce a spoiler alert, I did not like the ending. I never solved my issues that way.

[book hive] the redeeming quality of this one was humor… the rest of it, not my thing at all (contemporary romance, yet outdated for 2012). would not have read but for this book club!

It appears Ellen Ivers has everything. A great house, wonderful kids, and an amazing husband. But Ellen is bored with her life. She starts working out losing weight and feeling good about herself. Her cousin, Jill, tells her she has to do something for herself and tempts her to start writing again and enter a blog competition.
Ellen’s self confidence grows as the hits of her blog post grow and as Ben Campbell, a married detective gives her attention. That attention leads her down a dangerous path, where friendship is tempted to give in to something more. As Ellen’s world starts to unravel she has to make some hard decisions about what she really wants in life.
I had to read this novel when asked. I loved the idea of a wife wanting to try something new, something just for her. I have been at that spot and that is why I am writing reviews and working out (sounds familiar). Who hasn’t felt overwhelmed with life and responsibilities? Added bonus of her starting her blog, which I just did also. I read over half the book in one sitting and smiled and laughed through all of it.
Ellen was a character that I disliked immediately, but I enjoyed disliking her. I felt like she was very selfish. She put on the good act of being a good mom and a good wife, but really resented the demands that went with being a mom and wife. She is catty to her husband over anything and everything he does or says. She resents all her kids’ activities and their demands on her time. But it was extremely entertaining watching her find herself and realize that her life was not as rough as she thought it was.
I did find it unnecessary the amount of swearing in the story. I do not know of any of my mom friends who talk in the language Ellen does. Even Jill spelling the swear words annoyed me. I felt like there was not a conversation without bad language throughout the entire novel.
Janis Thomas wrote an amazing novel that every mom or wife can relate to and enjoy. It was witty and charming to read. I recommend it to all my friends and cannot wait for the next novel to come out.

More and more authors seem to be writing about women’s mid life crises as opposed to the men and it isn’t pretty. All of a sudden their families and spouses aren’t enough. It’s all about them and what they need and want.
Something New seemed to delve deeply into this theme and showed us how weak Ellen was. She didn’t care about her family or who she would hurt although her life as she told it didn’t seem so bad. Embarking on writing the blog for the magazine contest was eye opening for both her and the readers. She didn’t seem to think about what she was writing but the words flowed and they were very powerful ones sure to hurt those she loved most.
There was some character development but not enough. Ellen wanted it all and had justifications for everything she did but never thought through to the consequences of her actions. The epilogue was a nice touch to give the story some closure as well as show the realities of a marriage trying to be resurrected or saved. Will Ellen and Jonah make it? Only the author knows for sure. A few additional chapters might have been nice but really weren’t necessary the way it ended.
Something New was a contemporary novel – chick lit in nature – but I wouldn’t categorize it as a romance. There was love but also lies, sins of omission, hurt, cheating, feel good moments as well as feel bad ones too. There were a few tears, disbelief of justifications and lies and more lies. Thomas is a new to me author and I may give another of her books a read to see if it captured my interest more and had better character development.
Favorite Quote: If we were single and twenty-two, this would be the point where I would hope he would ask for my phone number, or I would say something inane like, This was great, let’s do it again sometime. Or he would lean into me tentatively and press his lips against mine But twenty-two is a lifetime ago, and my wedding band weighs heavily on my finger, practically pulling my left hand to the ground. Still, I don’t want to end this magical evening with just a See you around or Catch you later.

Just finished "Something New" by Janis Thomas. Not a whole lot more that I can say but "READ IT"!
There is a something for everyone in this book. It was funny, hilarious and down right rib tickling. Yes it is from a woman's point of view but even a guy would enjoy this book.
From start to finish the main character (author) has you REALLY walking in her shoes. It is from the day to day living through this character that you can actually see yourself at time, at least I could. I felt that there were so many relate able moments that I could see myself living her life. Even though I don't have children, a good deal of the story is based around this, I had no problem see her point of view and wondered how I would dealt with her life as it was laid out.
Would I recommend this book to others: OH heck Yes!!! Would I read it again: You bet!!!

A woman who has been married for a long time with three kids and realizes that her life recently has revolved around her husband and the kids and through a stranger she realizes that she needs something for herself.
Although, I am not at this place in life, I could relate to the character and was able to really take away some things and reflect. With such an honest set of characters, it was interesting to see where the author would take them and how they would react to each thing, but I absolutely adored the raw honesty that she put in this book.

I'd have preferred to give this 2.5 stars. I loved the premise of the book, especially since I'm a 40-something stay-at-home Mom who often finds herself bored.
But, I didn't love the characters. And the blog posts were condescending, and I didn't feel that they went along with Ellen's personality.

I was surprised how absorbed I got into this book. I started off with 3 stars, but as I kept thinking about this book after finishing it, I realized it deserved 4. Would recommend to my mom friends and want to read more by this author.

I enjoyed the hell out of this book. Witty, charming, and smart. It was also highly relatable. I cannot wait to hear more from this author.

Fun beach read. Humorous writing. She often hits the nail on the head, but it doesn't go too deep.

So funny. Loved her writing and can't wait to read more of her.

First book of hers I've read.......thoroughly enjoyed it and will look for more!

Very poor writing but cute story. The author basically was writing her thoughts from stream of consciousness throughout the book. The subject was about life as a SAHM...

Parts were funny

This is a great read. The heroine is imperfect and relatable yet still someone to admire.
