Meg’s story in 40 is the New F-Word is filled with laughter, tears, sexy times, & genuine connections. This is a must-read book for any woman approaching or has approached the age of 40 & is familiar with life-shattering news or events that knock you off kilter for a little while. Meg shows that through humor, the support of good people, a killer playlist, & belief in yourself, you can get through the worst of the worst & still enjoy life after you’ve gone through something. Here’s to having a year of “yes” & to taking the opportunities that come your way. I highly recommend this book; I read it in 2 days, and I was unable to put it down for very long when I did. I hope to see more of Meg & her posse’s adventures.

Lose yourself while you find yourself!
You'll quickly find yourself lost in this quirky cast of characters and will certainly relate to the main character, Meg, or one of her other friends or lovers. Great summer beach read! 🏖

Bold & racy! Not my typical genre, but I must say the author put her heart & soul into writing this book. A fresh take on divorce by an energetic. positive powerhouse of a woman. Bless her for putting her playlist at the end of the book for all of us fellow Gen-Xers. I blew through this book in 2 days!
