Maggie is having a mid-life crisis and I enjoyed how the author captured this experience from the side of a female. Thoughtful and balanced, as how so many things begin to emotionally change in those middle years. Great relatable read. ( )

After Happily Ever After is about family and life and the choices we make and how they affect everything and everyone around us. The characters are charming but at times I was frustrated by some of the decisions that Maggie makes but in a way I could understand as well. There are some moments that are emotional and deep and others that are just light and fun. I liked the humor that was added to the real life moments. I think the author blended the two together wonderfully giving the reader a great balance. In the end it was a fun laughter out loud refreshing read!

Maggie’s life is changing. She is not sure where she goes from here. She gave up her job in publishing years ago to take care of her daughter, Gia. Well, Gia is flying the coop. This leaves Maggie with nothing to hold on to. Her husband is distant, her father is in a difficult stage of Alzheimers and Maggie needs a focus. And it SHOULD NOT be what she focuses on…you have to read this to find out!

Maggie is a character which struck a chord with me. It may not have been a good chord…half the time I wanted to jerk her bald headed (especially over the hot guy!). And the other half, I wanted to hug her and tell her it was going to be ok. Maggie definitely created some huge feelings in me!

This is a tale most women can relate to at one point or another. The aging parents, the life we thought we would have, the children…it is all in this novel. I laughed in places, I probably should not have laughed! And I definitely felt like crying in others. I enjoy a good emotionally creative novel!
