(I'm finally doing my first ever book review! :})
Lately, I had been reading lots of novels about 'middle age' coming of age and somehow it makes me appreciate better that love has no expiration or due date. In this book, Rose Llyod, is the epitome of a career woman who has managed to juggle her work and her family triumphantly (or so it seems). She is working as a literary editor (one of my dream jobs) while her husband Nathan deals with the cruel and manipulative (newspaper) side of the company. She tinkers in the their garden on weekends while her son and daughter are off to the university and relishes in the completeness of her life. But like all novels, her world completely crumbles, her marriage and work were a mess plus her beloved 16 year old cat Parsley died.
This is a story of a woman who was hurt but finally moved on and showed everyone that being left for a younger woman can definitely be a door of opportunity for a better and sexier (thanks to the Parisian lingerie) you.
