I like how the author still has a chick lit type feel to her books, but makes them about older more realistic (to me) characters

An interesting reading for women between the ages of 40 -80 talks a lot about the mid life crisis that a lot of women go through with a daughter getting married, a sister deciding on a divorce, a son going to law school and her husband a public defender...

What a fun book! Read in three days. All of the comical calamity you can think of crammed into one book. If you like the Harlequin Next series, you'd like this one, too.

This is a crazy tale about two people,(Caroline & Tom) retired and ready to set off on their lifelong dreams: Carolines's sister moves in with a ton of luggage & a very bad tempered dog & broken dreams; a contractor find cracks in the foundation and moves in their yard indefinitely; and their daughter, Kay, brings home her finace', the richest boy in Raleigh....planning a high society, very expensive wedding that could wipe out Tom & Caroline's finances...and their dreams. It it funny, sad, but most of all, reminds one that having family along on life's journey (good or bad) is a blessing.

This book was just ok. I have read other books by this author that were far better. Yes, it was funny, but half-way through I thought that the plot and twists in the story were just too unbelieveable.

Read her other book called Eat Cake....that one was much much better!

I loved this book, as I did all of Ray's books. The characters are so lovable and the storyline so believable.

This was a new author for me and i really enjoyed her. This is the same author who wrote Julie and Romeo, which i now want to read. This is a cute story about an older couple getting ready to retire, Tom is a lawyer and Caroline is a dance teacher. They have raised 4 kids and now their empty nest is filling up again--- with everything from family,-- to problems with the house-- if it can go wrong it will. It's a happy read and i'd read it again!!

Cute book. A little bit silly at times, but I will admit it did have my laughing out loud in some parts. Not one of my favorite books, but it was enjoyable to read if you are feeling kinda "blah" and need a laugh. My mother borrowed the book from me before I read it - she loved it and gave it 4 stars.
