Publisher's Summary

Lizzie's life is pretty damn perfect, until she realizes she's about to hit the dreaded 4¿0. But losing her job to a younger journalist is not the only ingrown pube in the bikini wax of Lizzie's life. Her surgeon husband, Hugo, unexpectedly falls for an actress who keeps fit doing step-aerobics off her own ego. Lizzie has always believed brains to be more important than beauty, but up against a sex goddess, principles and profundity are about as useful as a eunuch at a whipped-cream orgy. Must she go under the knife to win back the man she loves? The answer is as obvious as a pre-1990 nose job.

entirely unlikeable

The characters are to a person, unrealistic, and in most cases, unlikeable. I found myself hoping that the heroine would display some traces of depth, something with which the average woman could identify, and at the end of the reading, was actually glad to finish. As a rule, I love British humor, with it's quirks and bawdy delivery, but in this case, it came across as just mean. I just didn't like any of the characters enough to see them as human, funny or not. In several cases I actually felt sorry for them, much the way one does when poorly directed actors fumble around a stage. What a shame, this author is talented, and I suspect could write with much more realism, while still keeping the bawdy humor factor intact.
