Customer Reviews

Wonderful read, could barely put down the book!

This book was well written, easy to read, and compelled me to not want to put it down and eager to finish reading it! I loved the characters! Very realistic, charming, and fun! Please write more books!

Perfect!

"My Favorite Midlife Crisis" is an engrossing read. The characters are engaging and I felt as though I really knew them. I'm in my 40's and I enjoy books with a little more substance that also make me feel good while I'm reading them. While this book celebrates being in midlife, it also acknowledges the challenges that we might face during this time. The writing was so finely crafted that I hated to come to the end of the book. Speaking of the end, I won't give it away, but it was very well done. You can't go wrong buying this book if you like to read. I'm looking forward to the next book by Ms. Devons.

Good book, even for a 28 year old!

Yes I agree with the reviews already written below, even as someone who's not near her midlife crisis yet. This is a good book, well written, and a fast read.

Finally! Someone shows 50+ women are on TOP of the hill, not over it!

Hurray for female characters in their fifties who don't come off like over-the-hill harpies. These women are bright, brave and funny. The book is about Gwyenth Berke a gynecologist and her two friends, Fleur and Kat as they discover life isn't over at menopause, it's just beginning. I really loved it. It made me laugh out loud! But I was also touched by Gwyneth's relationship with her dad and I cheered for the women as they came to Gwyn's rescue in a hysterical scene. I was sorry to see the story end. Let's hope there's a sequel in the works.

Go for it.

This book is a hoot. Particularly if you are a woman who is 54 or if you have been 54 or if you ever plan on being 54, you will find this read funny, charming, and invigorating. Unfortunately, I cannot send it to my mother because Dr. Gwyn and her friends have mouths on them that she wouldn't approve of. Which is precisely the point. These characters are characters: they are outspoken, hilarious, and irreverent. I was happy to pile in for the ride.
