When life gives you Lemons by Fiona GibsonMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Viv is in her fifties and experiencing the joys of the menopause whilst also trying to bring up a seven year old daughter and hold down a full-time job as a personal assistant. Her husband Andy, an endocrinologist is being less than sympathetic, ironic given that he is a doctor specialising in hormones, and the romance appears to be dead - although that turns out to be less about the menopause and more about the affair he is having with Dr Estelle Lang, who annoyingly appears to be sailing through her menopause without gaining weight or any of the other unpleasant effects.
While her friends are encouraging Viv to go out and meet someone new, Viv is more interested in finding herself. With a group of disparate friends and neighbours Viv jump-starts her career.
A pleasant read, but difficult to classify.
