After a girls’ weekend in Savannah makes her realize that she is—yikes!—middle-aged (binge watching is so the new binge drinking), Jen decides to make a bucket list and seize the day, even if that means having her tattoo removed at one hundred times the cost of putting it on.

From attempting a juice cleanse to studying Italian, from learning to ride a bike to starting a new business, and from sampling pasta in Rome to training for a 5K, Jen is turning a mid-life crisis into a mid-life opportunity, sharing her sometimes bumpy—but always hilarious—attempts to better her life…again.

My review:

I love this author! She makes me laugh out loud, and nod my head in agreement a hundred fold when I delve into one of her memoirs. It probably doesn't hurt that she is only about a decade away from me in age, so I can relate to every anecdote and story she writes about. I like to think that if we were neighbors, we would totally be BFF's, and if I wasn't happily married, I would want a husband just like Fletch (love mine, but he is not anywhere near as funny!). Her memoirs usually have a theme, and in this one she has decided to create a bucket list of things to do in the second half of her life. She wants to avoid getting to the end and having regrets over things she didn't do with her life. We follow her through all of these adventures, and of course, things never go quite as planned (especially in Jen's world).

Straight up fun and funny, pick this one up to lift your spirits. Who knows, maybe it will cause you to create (or dig out) your own bucket list.

    I remember seeing this one some months ago and wondered about it. It looks really fun and like a book that would make a great recovery book based on your review. I'm adding this one to my wish list. 🙂
