Publisher's summary

Midlife is supposed to be messy, but this is a full-on catastrophic crisis.

Just when I thought life might be getting back to normal—normal being a relative word—I couldn’t have been more wrong.

Marriage proposal from the Grim Reaper? Yes.

Beautiful healthy baby? Yes.

Friends and family safe? Yes.

Ghost of my worst enemy sitting on my front porch? OMG. Yep.

With the ghostly world imploding around me, I’m going to need more than superglue to repair it.

Question? Am I willing to do what has to be done?

Answer? I’m about to find out.

To say forty has been an eventful year is an understatement.

On the contrary, it’s turning out to be a seriously hard-knock midlife.

Mid-Life Rules

It is hard to find the words to explain how I’ve fallen in love with the characters within these books. This includes the secondary characters introduced in each of the novels.

I find so many parts of myself within the characters and the relationships between them. I so enjoy the use of “southern courtesy rules” and the breaking of them …. Even the use of crass, gross, profanity is accomplished with such gentility and humor.
I have so appreciated this series. The author has raised so many thought provoking ideas and life questions and arrive at answers so similar to the my own.

Amazing!

I just love this series. Jessica Almasy is amazing. She changes her voice so fast and never misses a beat. Great book. I can’t wait for the next one.

Great! Except for chapter 8

Jessica Almasy does an exceptional job of acting out this truly fun novel. Chapter 8 contains an editing error like I have never heard from a publishing house before. I’ve heard out takes from audio books - and this is what the clip was like.
Again, I enjoyed the story and the narration! 5 stars for those.
Editors or producers need to do better.

Loved it!

Of course, Candy Vargo was hilarious but the Queens made me laugh so hard I could not catch my breath. I cannot wait for the next book.

I enjoy the books, but...

I enjoy her books, but the fact that she spends a chapter or two repeating the previous book is annoying. It kind of seems like an excuse to be able to write multiple books. I mean if you spend 2 chapters just repeating the last chapters of the previous book, you have less of a story to come up with.
Just my personal opinion
