What we thought: What a heart-warming and entertaining short story! Well, long short story really.
Being of a similar age, mid-50s, I could readily identify with the two main characters: Carys and Moira, just enjoying life and attempting to do the things they were always afraid of doing, or never got the opportunity, earlier in life.
We are introduced to other “Sex Kittens” in this story –– single, divorced or widowed women –– creating a humorous, warm-hearted and supportive circle of friends for future stories.
This story might not be long, but already we can see the characters changing, accepting their new life circumstances, and trying to make the best of them –– something with which many women of this age are faced. A situation that can be challenging, when one’s bloom of youth has faded, and when you lack the heart or stamina to “begin again”.
However, this story, the first of many in this series I believe, gives us hope that starting over is, in fact, possible. And maybe even enjoyable.
Funny, witty, laugh-out-loud, I would highly recommend Life After Men and I can’t wait for the next “Sex Kittens” story.
Avoid if you don’t like: Coming of Age stories featuring older women.
Ideal accompaniments: A glass of chilled white wine and some 80s music.
Genre: chick lit, humorous, short story
Available on Amazon
So glad you enjoyed our story (with a glass of white wine and 80s music!)
