Life Begins at 50 (by Celia Anderson)

This book was really just a “meh” read for me. It was so depressing. I guess after having had a husband commit adultery and leave me as I turned 50, I should have realized this book would not be a good story in which to invest my time. There are a lot of triggers of which you need to be aware: divorce, miscarriages, abduction of a child, etc. I will say, that if you can make it through all of the negativity, there is at least a happy ending. But for me, I’m not sure it was worth the struggle to get to that point. The author’s writing style was okay and for some, I am sure they will appreciate the book. So my suggestion is to give it a shot and see if it appeals to you. I may just be one of a few for whom it did not appeal.
