How does a fifty-year-old woman start a new life?

Meet Linda Lockwood: fifty, fat, frumpy and bullied by her horrible husband Ron and the vile students and principal at the school where she teaches English. But her life is about to undergo a total transformation.

Linda suffers a breakdown after a traumatic classroom incident, and that brings out the worst in Ron and devious principal, Wayne Forsythe. Then she is rocked to discover her husband has a shocking secret.

With her own determination and the help of friends and family, she starts to turn her life around. She begins to succeed, but there are still some more surprises in store Linda.

A feel-good and inspirational romance for older women who love second chances and chick lit.

Entertaining and with a great feelgood factor

Commenté au Royaume-Uni 🇬🇧 le 4 juin 2022

Achat vérifié

Linda is fifty, frumpy, mocked by her selfish husband (a wonderfully drawn character), and faced by school bullies that the school she works at refuse to tackle.
She suffers a breakdown and its from this position that Linda begins to rebuild her life – stronger, more determined and boosting her own self-esteem in the process.
One of her issues is obesity and there’s sound, practical advice on how to tackle the issue woven into the story.
I see that another reviewer has used the following quotation:
“She had once been a great teacher, popular with students and respected by other staff members. Every year, a little gloss had been wiped away and now only a dull, rusted undercoat was left."
I loved it too and make no apologies for using it again - it shows the quality of the writing!

Thoroughly enjoyable

This isn’t my usual genre of book,,however I found it very good. Linda is a very relatable character, but puts up with terrible treatment from both her husband and her boss. Her story is uplifting, and you can’t help but cheer for her as she negotiates a new life.

Happy Endings Do Exist

Commenté au Canada 🇨🇦 le 3 mai 2022

I am used to associating Toni Pike’s writing with crime and thrillers, not this delightful modern feel-good women’s fiction and so it was a surprise for me to see it on her post.
The first part of the novel is about Linda’s marriage to Ron, a horrible man. He is constantly criticizing Linda about her weight, treats her like his servant and is often going out at night coming home smelling of alcohol. Linda stays in the marriage because she doesn’t know what else to do and likes her home when her husband is at work or playing golf.

As much as Linda is the glass half full type of person Ron is eternally pessimistic.
Aside from her marriage, Linda also hates teaching although there was a time when it was her passion but things have changed.
“She had once been a great teacher, popular with students and respected by other staff members. Every year, a little gloss had been wiped away and now only a dull, rusted undercoat was left. It was so hard to look forward to a day at school when a riot could break out at any moment and every lesson was like trying to tame a herd of wild beasts.”
Linda has a breakdown (or perhaps a breakthrough) She spends a great deal of her time in bed eating chocolates and gaining weight something which Ron doesn’t let her forget.
“If you’re not better tomorrow, then I’m leaving. I’m not taking care of an invalid for the rest of my life. There’s nothing wrong with you, apart from being too fat and too lazy to go to work”
When Linda doesn’t change Ron asks for a divorce and off Linda goes gaining enthusiasm, energy and the will to take care of herself.
The remainder of the novel is sweet and reminiscent of the Television show I used to watch as a kid: Leave it to Beaver. It has that kind, family feel to it. Beneath her submission towards Ron, Linda is a very astute woman who isn’t afraid to speak her mind. Her character adds a fun, easy relaxing and pleasant read.
We see Linda thrive through the obligations of life: getting a house ready to sell. Finding an apartment. Moving to a different city, closer to her sister. Quitting her job. Finding work in fashion. Taking care of herself. And embarking on a new and loving relationship.
The book also contains some heartwarming sentences:
“… your heart matches your lovely face.” Said by boyfriend, Dennis.
Linda uses her struggles with weight to write inspiring articles for The Canberra News Magazine which motivates her in setting goals for her own weight loss program. “Linda was an English teacher who once loved to write, but life with Ron had dulled her inspiration and melted the muse. She loved trying to write with clarity, transposing the thoughts in her brain to paper and then polishing them carefully.”
As the stain of verbal and psychological abuse fades, Linda becomes more confident and someone you’d love to hang out with.
It’s an upbeat novel and Pike shows that there are happy endings even for those in mid-life.
An enjoyable read that is bound to take you out of any morose mood you might be in.

Starting Over at Fifty

Commenté aux États-Unis 🇺🇸 le 1 novembre 2022

Achat vérifié

Linda's Midlife Crisis deals with an important topic—escaping a lousy marriage and regaining one's self-esteem. Linda is married to a genuinely despicable husband named Ron, who emotionally abuses her for years. When he humiliates her on her 50th birthday in front of their friends, she finally realizes that this is not the life she wants anymore. On top of her personal woes, she is unhappy in her teaching career, tolerating unruly kids and poor administrators. After having a mental breakdown, she decides to start over in her life.

Linda makes a steady progression of improvements in her life, including health, career, and romance. Ron tries to worm his way back into her life, but she wants nothing to do with him. While author Toni Pike did an excellent job writing this story and showing Linda's character development, there were some points where I thought the changes the protagonist makes come a little too easily.

I thought one of the strengths of this read was to show how a controlling person can manipulate their spouse. I found myself a little frustrated with Linda for not leaving this schmuck earlier, especially since they had no children together. After the marriage ends, Linda learns other disturbing details about Ron. She rights the ship and shows us that with determination and a sound support system of friends, people can make positive changes in their life that make them happier and feel good about themselves.
