Her husband’s cheating on her. She hates Boca. Sylvia is mad and she
isn’t going to take it anymore. She’s moving back north, to the
city of her dreams—with her best friend, Evie, in tow. Think a
screwball comedy featuring a sophisticated Thelma and Louise with
martinis in hand . . . When sixty-three-year-old Sylvia finds her
husband in bed with the floozy of their Boca retirement community,
she’s shocked and furious . . . at first. By the time her head stops
spinning, Sylvia realizes that actually, this isn’t what she wants
anymore anyway. So she enlists her best friend, the glamorous older
widow Evie, to join her in setting up a new life in Manhattan.
Sylvia’s ex-husband may have lost her life savings, but Sylvia and
Evie are scrappy and determined, unopposed to pawning jewelry and
roughing it in tiny apartments. And before long, Sylvia signs on to
revive her decades-old wedding planning business with a former
professional rival. Sylvia has a lot to prove, and beneath it all,
she can’t help but wonder: Will she ever be able to get back into
the dating game? Sylvia doesn't want to be twenty-five or thirty
again. Her age gives her wisdom, experience, and perspective. A
career, sex, fun, and a new romance—her entire second act is
stretched out in front of her, beckoning to her. It’s her time, and
watch out, world, Sylvia is coming!
