I enjoyed this book reading it really quickly - easy to get into with a good storyline quite explicit in parts as the main character Rachel has a sexual awakening as she turns 50
A loose storyline which i felt could have been better if not so rushed just as I was getting into the book it came to quite an abrupt end

The published note about the book depicting a mature heroine and sexually explicit scenes is spot on.

While I am not normally put off by some sex scenes, this one seemed a little excessive as Rachel celebrates her dissolved relationship with romps in the hay with almost every guy she meets. Guess that's the Sex in the City part.

There's a little character development of the women closest to Rachel. Her best friend. Her daughter (who is pregnant with a girl.) And her mother.

Reading this title, you could be convinced that men are generally scum only interested in sex. Which is how Rachel justifies her behavior.

The book has a sneak peek at the next title which features Rachel's sister. Not sure if I'll be reading. While I enjoy light reads and don't mind the sex thrown in, I like to feel like there are both a plot and a building of relationships. This title seemed to take great leaps between sexual escapades.

Fabulous at Fifty is possible. But, this book doesn't scream realistic to me. Maybe that's why what should have taken me a night or two to read took longer. I just wasn't buying into it.

On turning fifty Rachel Fontaine's life sees many changes, she loses her job with suggestions she's too old to continue in her role successfully. Her relationship status changes, leaving her try a different way of life, embracing all opportunities for flings along the way... amongst just a couple.

Fabulous At Fifty is mainly told from Rachel's perspective, in the moment or after on catching up with best friend Janece. Being a shorter book, you can't really give too much on the story without giving a spoiler alert. Overall It's an easy read, but for me, not really a gripping read.

Rachel Fontaine is turning 50 and facing crisis in her job and relationship. She tries to heal with Botox and relationships with several younger men and an ex. There are hilarious situations she finds herself stumbling into. In the end she finds out that family is what matters. It was nice to see an older heroine.
