A review by jessicasshelfies
A Midlife Holiday by Cary J. Hansson
4.0
Three friends are all a bit stuck in everyday life and feel like nothing is fun anymore. They go on a trip together, finding both themselves and each other in the process.
I love books about female friendship, so this was right up my alley. Although the main plot (woman in midlife gets fed up and sets to finding joy and herself) is not too unsusual for a feelgood book, it feels fresh, and it’s written with humour and style.
I liked how the main characters struggle to find themselves and realize that it’s not so hard after all to change your life. In the beginning I just wanted to give them a real shake and tell them to stop moping and DO something. Which they of course do eventually.
The book is really well written and ”scenes” are easy to visualize. I can’t really relate to the main characters, but I very seldom can in feelgood books.
