From the author of the ‘irreverent and hilarious’ (New York Post) Class Mom series, a standalone book featuring a new character, Kit Caruso, stepping into the terrifying new world of dating over the age of sixty
Turning sixty and finding herself single wasn’t part of Kit Caruso’s plan. But here she is, a San Diego–based mother of three and recent empty nester in need of a hobby. Kit’s friend and next-door neighbor Rita (a former child star of Annie who thinks Andrea McArdle stole her chance at fame) dares her back into the dating world with the Silver Foxes app, where men seem to be only looking for '''a nurse or a purse.’ What follows is a parade of excruciating dates with men who are more red flag than romantic.
After a few bizarre and hilarious encounters, Kit finally swipes right on Jonathan Smith: sixty-four, George Clooney–gorgeous, and even financially independent. He dazzles Kit with his charm, kissable lips, and old-fashioned beliefs about courtship. She chooses not to be offended by his suggestions for how she can improve herself (hair, makeup, clothes, workouts), mainly because she’s seeing good results.
It’s all going swimmingly until Kit meets a friend of her ex-husband’s, a retired cop turned handyman who has moved to town with his much younger boyfriend, Brian. Tom is friendly, funny, and charming—and a pro at fixing things around the house—and Kit finds herself distracted by this man she knows she can never have.
Refreshingly down-to-earth and brimming with warmth, Gelman’s quirky cast of family, neighbors, and friends will keep you turning the pages and have you laughing the whole way.
Genre: General Fiction
