My Favorite Midlife Crisis (Yet)!

by Toby Devens

Gwyneth Berke is still recovering two years after her divorce from her suddenly out-of-the-closet husband. Her best friends Kat and Fleur drag her reluctantly into the dating world again. She meets a few flakes, before happening upon fellow gynecologist Simon at a medical conference. But is he really who he shows himself to be - or does Simon have secrets of his own? Gwyneth will soon find out.

This book is a kick. Even as one who is not at all close to mid-fifties, I could relate to Gwyneth and her friends as they navigate the treacherous dating world in search of men they can trust and are attracted to. More of a "girlfriends" book, than a "dating" book, this book nonetheless assures every woman that even if you have to kiss a lot of frogs, you will eventually find your prince.

I wasn't sure I would like this book - thought maybe I was too young for the demographic - but that was soon proven false. This is a book every woman can enjoy. And more so if you can identify some of your frogs with those in the book!
