Sylvia's Second Act by Hillary Yablon, 344 pages
Sylvia has never been happy living in Florida after she and her husband retired, and when she walks in on him in flagrante with the neighborhood bimbo, she's done. Sylvia and her best friend Edie pack their bags and with a bit of spunk, determination, and very little research or cash, move to New York City to live out their Sex and the City dreams. Before long, Sylvia has a part-time job assisting a wedding planner, and things are looking up, even if her daughter thoroughly disapproves of her new lease on life and her ex is being a jerk.
There are a million books about women of a certain age taking life by the horns and trying out new things. This definitely fits well in that pile, though I'm not sure I'd put it at the top of my list of that type of book to recommend. It's funny, but there's no real emotional depth. It's not great, not horrible, just kinda there.
