Angieβs on the brink of turning fifty, and life is good. Sheβs survived a disastrous divorce (and some equally disastrous first dates). Sheβs survived her friendsβ menopause madness and her daughterβs nerve-racking nuptials. Sheβs dating Tim (a Truly Extraordinary Kisser), her career is steady and fulfilling, the kids are launched, her ex has exited, and her best friends are as close to normal as theyβve ever been (which, honestly, is not very close at all). So as Angie approaches the day she turns the Big Five-O, her life is really humming along β but is it humming along to Happy Birthday or the theme song from Jaws?
Da dum da dum: Angie gets a new boss who subscribes to the Idi Amin School of Micromanagement. Da dum da dum: Timβs amorous intentions might be turning honorable β or turning in another womanβs direction. Da dum da dum: Angieβs ex schemes to rekindle a non-existent flame β eiouyw! Da dum da dum: Angieβs daughter is pregnant, so Angie β at sexy, youthful, Fabulous Fifty β will soon be a grandmother!
(Really, all she wanted for her fiftieth birthday was some chocolate cake and a few Botox treatments.)
Not to worry. Angieβs best friends have a strategy to pull her life back together again: a rigorous regimen of bikini waxing and belly dancing, martial arts and Myers- Briggs β good grief!
