The Widow's Guide to Sex and Dating
by Carole Radziwill
Earlier this summer, I won a mystery box of books from a local NYT best-selling author. Included in that box was a copy of this book. Unlike the other books, this was the only non-mystery/thriller, which actually made this book a bit of a mystery in and of itself. However, when I discovered that the author was one of the Real Housewives of New York, it all became clear -- the author who sent me the box of books is a huge fan of the show. Mystery solved! :)
Although I don't read a ton of chick lit, I found myself curious to see where the story would go and was pleasantly surprised along the way. Given the title and blurb on the jacket, I was expecting something a little racier and less relatable, but was happy to discover that it didn't meet my preconceived notions. While I didn't necessarily relate to the main character's lifestyle, I found her to be more down-to-earth than I would have expected and liked spending time in her world. I enjoyed the writing style and elements of humor sprinkled throughout. When I picked this one up, I was looking for some lighter escapism and this checked the box. Even though the ending wasn't a surprise, I liked the fact it had a happy ending, which was just what I needed.
