There's Been a Change of Plans: Divorce, Dating, and Delinquents in Mid-Life | Amy Koko
2 posts
Blogger Amy Koko bears her soul in her witty, bittersweet memoir, There's Been A Change of Plans: Divorce, Dating & Delinquents in Mid-life. Expecting a trip to Italy, Koko is blind-sided by her husband's confession that he's been putting his shoes under a much younger and prettier woman's bed. After twenty-seven years of marriage and four children, she faces the unimaginable: her life as she knows it is unraveling around her and her family's future is anything but certain.In the literary tradition of Nora Ephron's Heartburn and Jenny Lawson's Let's Pretend This Never Happened, Koko's memoir details her journey from hearing the news that her husband is in love with a blonde, thirty-something Swiss pastry chef to trying everything from thong underwear to a mini-facelift to save her marriage, only to see it die in the parking lot of gas station. With incredible honesty and humor, Koko takes the reader on a wild ride through the tough, emotional times of starting over through divorce, mid-life, finding a job, and Internet dating, all the while trying to keep her four teenagers out of jail. There's been a change of plans, and that's just the beginning.

So...at the beginning of the year I set a goal to read one book per quarter that was at least 700 pages; I even made a hashtag. Well, 1st quarter '17 is in the books & I didn't achieve that goal so I decided to change the rules to 600+ 🙃My goal, my rules, right? 😉To those who posted with 700+ books so far, I am impressed!Well done! For everyone else, I just made it a little easier 😊#bigbooks17 #bigbooks Do tag me so I can see your big books!📚

Lola Shout out to @Notmacaroniandcheese (who I believe already has two 700+ page monsters read this year) and @Marchpane who read one of my big books from last year (edited) 8y
Lola My first quarter book weighed in at 628 pages 8y
SusanInTiburon My husband likes to read aloud; first quarter this year we got through Middlemarch; now we're on Moby-Dick. 8y

Lola @SusanInTiburon Truth! I should recruit my teenagers. I'm sure they have some big books for assigned class reading. Two birds/one stone 😛 8y
