Great synopsis of the theme of this entertaining book. From the New York Times:
When do the wheels come off the wagon? In your 20s, after a short-lived
stint in a rock band? In your 30s, after your kids have sucked the life
out of you? In your 40s, after you acquire gray hair and a real estate
license? How about when your almost-adult child starts having sex with
your best friend’s almost-adult child? Or maybe it’s when you, nearing
50, find a guru? And the guru turns out to be a con artist?
I also agree with the Times in their assessment of the ending, which I found highly disappointing. Tied up all the loose ends in a few pages using a literary device that was too easy for the author to do quickly. It was like SHE was ready to move on from these characters!
