Synopsis – Stuck in the Midlife With You
Your forties just got fabulous…
Becca Burnside is going to make this the year she turns her forties around, and creates a life her 16-year-old self would be proud of… A smidgen of romance wouldn’t go amiss either.
And with a new job, and a blossoming friendship with handsome Conal, she’s off to a great start. Or at least, she was, until her youngest son dropped the mother of all bombshells: his girlfriend, who just happens to be the daughter of Becca’s best friend Niamh, is pregnant. Now Becca and Niamh find themselves not only facing the usual problems that come with being women of a certain age, they’re going to be grannies.
So when Becca’s new job invites them on a weekend retreat, it seems the perfect way to distract themselves from ‘the Situation’. But will wild water swimming and yoga be enough to help the women face the biggest challenge of their adult lives? And can their friendship survive the chaos of a new baby?
Join the most fabulous club in town! Perfect for fans of Serena Terry and Alexandra Potter.

My Review
Stuck in the Midlife with You: The Fabulous Forties Club, Book 2 by Freya Kennedy
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This is a book about changing lives as we age. It is book 2 in a series. I did not read the first book and that did not hamper my ability to enjoy this story.
Menopause is a large theme and there is lots of discussion about those symptoms and the different ways it impacts women.
Sometimes the author was a bit repetitive but overall this story is very well done.
Though the book tackles some tough subjects including teen pregnancy the story is told with incredible humor. I chuckled throughout the book and towards the end there was a chapter that had me laughing out loud. I liked that we can explore tough topics and still do it in a way that is relatable. There were several emotional moments as well as the two main characters grapple with all the changes they are facing.
Overall I greatly enjoyed this story and look forward to reading more things by this author.
