I am a big fan of chick lit and I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. It was a very fast read for me. I finished the 299 page book in a matter of 2 days. It captivated me from the start and held my interest throughout. This is definitely one of those books that is hard to put down!

Although I am not that close to 60 years old just yet (I am 31), I found myself connecting with the main character Shelly. I am going through a divorce right now so many of the feelings she is having I could relate to. I felt her anger and her pain for the situation she is placed in. I loved her strength, perseverance and positive attitude and these traits in particular made her endearing to me. She is someone that I would look up to.

The plot is fast paced and the author places many twists throughout the book. I really enjoyed reading about Shelly's numerous experiences in the dating world especially when she gets into online dating. It was funny to see the types of guys that she encountered online because it is oh so true in real life too! There are plenty of duds out there for every good match.

Thoroughly entertaining and heartfelt, this is an excellent book for all women to pick up for some interesting summer reading.
