What can be worse than being almost forty and single? Being thirty-nine and divorced, that’s what! Then again, when you marry just so you don’t have to date any more, is it any great surprise that you end up living with your mother and her collection of dachshunds.

Daisy Dooley Does Divorce is a humorous look at a very real reality of so many women: divorced and alone, we find out who we really are - and what we want out of life. Daisy spends some time dating, finding a new job, bonding better with her friends, thinking about having a baby - and discovering a career focus are the daily trials and tribulations Daisy deals with along the way. And maybe, just maybe, Daisy will deal with the love that got away.

I found the book funny and a light read. It’s not a serious how-to but just the kind of fluff I like to keep me company on a long flight….or while sitting at Starbucks with a cup of coffee. It’s great if you don’t take life too seriously…and if you do, maybe you need to take a cue from Daisy’s lessons - and lighten up a little…
