Better Off Without Him
Mona is an author, has 3 children and a lousy husband. He decided it was time to waltz in and tell Mona he is leaving her. Shocked to see he was packing up his things and moving out. Mona took it hard for a few a while, but with the push of her daughter's she decides to start dating again. They go to her summer home off the Jersey shore for some relaxation and dating. Some of Mona's dates are interesting and funny along the way.I had a good time reading this story. Between Mona's Aunt Lily and the aliens that might land in Central Park to her plumber there are a lot of funny things going on as Mona tries to get on with her life.
The characters were well done. Mona's best friends Marsha Marsha and Patricia are always there for her along the way. Patricia can make a great martini that plays along with some funny scenes for Mona. I found being older was refreshing for a character. Nice to see rather then all the 20 something characters in other books.
This is a book I will be re-reading over the years. It was fun to see who Mona was going to end up with. The book keeps you guessing.
