Kelly Johnson becomes restless in her thirty-ninth year. An
appetite for more forces her to take stock of her middling
middle-American existence and her neighbors' seemingly
perfect lives. Her marriage to a successful attorney has
settled into a comfortable routine, and being the mother of
two adorable sons has been rewarding. But Kelly's own
passions lie wasted. She eyes with envy the lives of her two
best friends, Kathryn and Charlotte, both beautiful,
successful businesswomen who seem to have it all. Kelly
takes charge of her life, devising a midlife makeover plan.
From page one, Kelly's witty reflections, self-deprecating
humor, and clever tactics in executing that plan--she places
Post-it notes all over her house and car--will have readers
laughing out loud. The next instant, however, they might
rant right along with Kelly as her commitment to a sullen,
anorexic teenager left on her doorstep tries her patience or
as she deflects the boozy advances of a divorced neighbor.
Readers will need to keep the tissue box handy, too, as
Kelly repairs the damage she inflicted on a high school
friend; realizes how deeply her husband, Patrick,
understands and loves her; and ultimately grows into a woman
empowered by her own blend of home and career.
