I received this e-book through Early Reviewers.
The book has undeniably a certain charm. ( )

I liked Audrey very much.
Her adventuresness - who else should buy an iguana?- , her perseverance in calling the president of the United States 'that man in the White House', her searchings on a dating site, het considering her iguana as a partner (I do not agree there, but it sure made me laugh).
I liked Frank too, and certainly his two wives. His shyness, his sneekiness even. I just loved this brilliant sentence: 'Frank hugged her, as well as a man in a winter overcoat can hug a dead wife who is a ghost.'
What I liked less were the continuous conversations, the continual thoughts she had about politics and feminism. Yes, I do like to read about feminism and I do like conversations (everyone who knows me will agree), but please - a bit less would have helped in enjoying the book. Now the book seems to me something between a romance and a feministic essay, that is a pity. ( )

This book was a lot of fun, I really enjoyed the main character and thought her story was well done. It did get a bit ponderous at times, when I felt the main character was over-thinking it, but overall a great read and could be thought-provoking as well. Women's struggles are so far from over...not sure they can be, feels like we're stepping backwards sometimes, but this book dealt with these troubling times in an engaging way and I appreciated the different viewpoints of the women represented here. ( )

I enjoyed the book. I think the thing I enjoyed most was that she didn’t have all of the answers, but rather she works things out with a series of internal questions. I thought that she was overly concerned about her age, but she’s willing to learn and change and take charge. It deals with the issue of her changing understanding of the range of meanings attached to the concept of feminism and then deciding for herself where she stands. A fun vacation read. ( )

I thought the story in the book was very nice, it was good to read about a woman at a different period in her life than most books. However, I did think at times it got a little preachy, and I agreed with their message, but it just felt like a slight lecture. ( )
