Are you looking for a wine and chat themed club book or a Galentine’s type book for yourself or a friend? A Girl Like You, which comes out next week, would be a great book for those chats or a gift. I hope you’ll consider it!
I’d like to thank Cari Scribner for sharing her new book A Girl Like You (@cariscribnerauthor ; @circuitbreakerbooks publisher). It’s a witty story of Jessica reclaiming her life after a second marriage ends. She joins a gym. She handles what sounds like a humorous work life with the “three stooges”. She makes an online dating profile. And she talks about the ups and downs of her dating life and her pursuit of what she wants for herself (and it might be sex!).
3 things I love:
✨I really like that Jessica is embracing midlife and what she wants. It’s fun to have a book that centers mostly on her life and thoughts and not really be about her needing a man but more about her finding what she wants. And her awesome leggings.
✨Her relationship with her young adult children. I appreciated the juxtaposition of her online dating life with that of her children. It was funny and warm and loving.
✨Steam! This book has some steam and I like that this story is about a woman at midlife who is still vibrant and open and sexual.
It’s a midlife coming of age story.! how’s that for a genre to be excited about?!
