Description from the publisher:
I knew hot flashes were supposed to be hot, but I didn’t expect flames.
One day I’m in anger management, normalizing the cordial hate between me and my husband.
The next, we’re divorced, and he has taken both our house and the business we built together. I’m forty years old and living above our empty restaurant, plotting my next move.
And then the world around starts lighting up—literally catching on fire. I’m starting to think my defining characteristic may not be my snark or my cupcake-baking prowess, but spontaneous combustion.
I’m done suppressing my anger. I’m done playing by other people’s rules. Ready to take the reins on my destiny, I’m making the choices I used to be too afraid to make. Like my favorite cast iron skillet, women get better with age. And at forty, I know exactly who I am and what I want.
I’ll embrace the fire and the fury. This is my life, and I’m in control.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This begins at her step-daughter’s wedding and avoiding the limp gherkin that is Remi’s ex-husband until it is polite to leave. Thank all that is wonderful for her bestie, Jen, who is there to make it bearable.
Remi’s life changes drastically that night when her ex-husband and his new wife corner her just when she’s about to sneak away. Kidnapping, crashing, and flames are just the beginning of a mid-life crisis for Remi.
Then there is Remi and Jen’s new “friend,” Molly. The woman is older than everything that came before dirt and snarkier than snark. Jen doesn’t see it. She’s obviously been a witch for a long time. She knows a lot, but she’s slow to share. Finally, why does she rub Molly so abrasively?
I loved all of the snark and sass. I loved that people are called inventive names like “gherkin,” but swearing is still appropriate in other instances. I also love all of Remi’s old band t-shirts.
This world is fun, laugh-out-loud funny, and exceptionally out-of-control.
Note: While I received this book as a gifted ARC, my opinions are my own and are given freely.
