This is not the type of book I'd pick up, let alone read, because it's, like, POETRY (shudders). But it was staring at me in my Airbnb lodging and after the first page, I was hooked. For despite having been formatted into stanzas like traditional poetry, it read like a story with a straightforward flow about totally real issues facing a 50-yo woman--hey, that's me! My friend kept asking me, "What's so funny?" Dive in and see for yourself. An entertaining read at 4 stars.
