Revenge of the Middle Aged Woman by Elizabeth Buchan

There’s a cute little used bookstore in the middle of Nebraska that I love to visit whenever I see relatives there, and I couldn’t resist picking this book up when I saw it in the shop. It looked, and was, perfect for airplane reading, and best of all, I think I only paid $2.50 for it. And, hey, don’t tell anyone, but I am middle-aged.

Rose Lloyd is a woman who has lost her husband and job and is facing an uncertain future. Her mother also has health problems. She faces all her troubles one day at a time, though, and gradually her life gets back to a new normal. Meanwhile, her ex-husband is finding that a new girlfriend might not be exactly the bliss he thought it would.

I enjoyed this one more than my rating would suggest, but it is a pretty lightweight read. Recommended for women facing similar crises in their lives.
