Maggie is having a mid-life crisis and I enjoyed how the author captured this experience from the side of a female. Thoughtful and balanced, as how so many things begin to emotionally change in those middle years. Great relatable read. ( ) After Happily Ever After is about family and life and the choices we make and how they affect everything and everyone around us. The characters are charming but at times I was frustrated by some of the decisions that Maggie makes but in a way I could understand as well. There are some moments that are emotional and deep and others that are just light and fun. I liked the humor that was added to the real life moments. I think the author blended the two together wonderfully giving the reader a great balance. In the end it was a fun laughter out loud refreshing read! Maggie’s life is changing. She is not sure where she goes from here. She gave up her job in publishing years ago to take care of her daughter, Gia. Well, Gia is flying the coop. This leaves Maggie with nothing to hold on to. Her husband is distant, her father is in a difficult stage of Alzheimers and Maggie needs a focus. And it SHOULD NOT be what she focuses on…you have to read this to find out! Maggie is a character which struck a chord with me. It may not have been a good chord…half the time I wanted to jerk her bald headed (especially over the hot guy!). And the other half, I wanted to hug her and tell her it was going to be ok. Maggie definitely created some huge feelings in me! This is a tale most women can relate to at one point or another. The aging parents, the life we thought we would have, the children…it is all in this novel. I laughed in places, I probably should not have laughed! And I definitely felt like crying in others. I enjoy a good emotionally creative novel! Need a book about life changing issues with sweet twist! THIS IS IT! Grab this one today! I received this novel from the publisher for a honest review. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Maggie Dolin is forty-five and isn't dealing with getting older very well. Seventeen years ago, she gave up her job in publishing to raise her daughter, Gia--but now her only child is about to leave for college, and Maggie isn't sure what her new purpose will be. She's been the caretaker and nurturer for so long that she can't even remember the last time someone took care of her. She wishes Jim, her husband of nineteen years, would take that role on--but he's been distracted and disconnected, and she's convinced he's hiding something from her. Her self-involved, judgmental mother and resentful brother, meanwhile, are certainly no help, and her father--the only person in her life who's always been there for her and asked nothing in return--is dealing with increasingly serious health issues, leaving Maggie without her rock. As all these stressors pile on, a chance meeting with a younger man causes Maggie to act in a way that is completely out of character for her. As she gets deeper in, she's forced to make some big decisions about what she wants and deserves--decisions that could change her life forever. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
