It's nice to read about protagonists who are flawed and love that follows a bumpy path for a change. Dating after 50 is hard, and the pitfalls are humorously depicted in this book. With the wit of a stand-up comedian, Randi Devilkin takes the reader by the hand through the dating battleground of the over-50 female. A must-read for the aging love-seeker.

Randi Devilkin always draws me in like I'm her protagonist's big sister - fretting, cheering and laughing out loud. It's so refreshing to read romances about adults that don't ignore our experience, baggage and, most importantly, our humor in handling the crazy stuff life throws us.

Quirky, humorous story of a 50 something woman left behind
4.5 stars
Lori is woefully unprepared for Life After Husband. She's reeling in the aftermath of her husband leaving her for a younger lover, and her boss thinks her columns are boring and outdated. She is prim, proper, and a little bit snobby when it comes to her handsome handyman; she wonders if she could ask him on a date, but she worries about what people would think - and she's pretty sure that she's is an artifact left over from a different era. As things in her life seem to go disastrously wrong - in the funniest way possible- she struggles to live her life and express herself in modern way ( especially at work ), to improve her relationship with her children, to finalize a divorce from her philandering husband, and maybe to go out on a date with the hotty with the hammer. But she is her own worst enemy, and Murphy's Law is her reality. She finally realizes that even at 50+, you can still have a lot to learn about yourself and the life you thought you wanted.
By the end of the book, we know a lot about Lori. This is her story. We do not really get to know Devin very well, but we sense that he's a good man, and good for her. Ultimately, though, this is a story about a wife abandoned by her husband, and by time itself, and how she learned to make her peace with her new, modern, independent life.
Tropes :
* MF
* novella
* rom-com / women’s lit
* quirky, humorous mishaps
* class differences ( maybe )
* MFC is a columnist on dating etiquette and manners in her 50s
* MMC is a handyman about the same age
* both divorced
* forced proximity
* small town
* miscommunication/ misunderstanding
* post-divorce dating disasters
* eventual HEA
