"A smart, witty, sometimes hilarious coming-of-age novel for and about the boomer generation. Realistic and funny, will appeal to women of all ages, while men should find it attractively controversial."

"At last a writer is writing the truth about ageism, Hollywood, creativity, and true love. Love it!"

"Barbara paints a funny as well as poignant picture of dating, romantic love, parenting an adult daughter, and sex after sixty. She tells the truth and this book vibrates with razor sharp wit!"

"Through the eyes of the wonderfully witty, wounded and wistfully romantic Anny Applebaum, we discover a world few authors have dared to enter. Brooker's prose is poetry. She doesn't write this story, she paints it in the subtlest, refined colors imaginable."

"A most timely read in regard to how fast-track medication, relationships, and communication impact not only who we are and how we behave, but also how one manages to keep a healthy perspective."
