"The Cougar Club" by Susan McBride:
Meet three women who aren't about to run and hide just because the world says they should be on the shelf and out of circulation.

Kat
Her life seems perfect until she loses her high-powered advertising job and catches her live-in lover in a compromising position—with his computer!

Carla
This sexy TV news anchor is in danger of being replaced by a twentysomething blond bimbo. Wasn't it just yesterday that she was the up-and-coming star?

Elise
A married dermatologist, Elise thinks her plastic surgeon husband is playing doctor with someone else.

Kat firmly believes that aging gracefully isn't about giving up; it's about living life with your engine on overdrive. So this unofficial "Cougar Club" quickly learns three things about survival of the fittest in today's youth-obsessed society: True friendship never dies, the only way to live is real, and you're never too old to follow your heart. (Summary courtesy of Goodreads.)

Melissa P:
I really enjoyed this book. Susan does a great job of portraying female friendships and the reality of making life changing decisions. Once you start this book, you won't want to put it down.

Melissa A:
This was an entertaining story that showed us the perspectives of three different women, all of whom were easily relatable. See my review for more details. I can't wait to read Ms. McBride's next novel!

    Not so sure about this one. It's annoying when a book/movie/real life "Cougar" constantly trashes twenty-something girls to make herself feel better about aging. I guess I'll go through the reviews and see if it's worth the time.
