About this ebook

A funny, fearless, and inspiring novel about dating after the age of sixty.

THE NOVEL THAT PROVES THERE’S PLENTY OF LIFE—AND HOT SEX—AFTER SIXTY!

Just because Anny Applebaum qualifies for a senior discount doesn’t mean she’s ready for retirement. But if she wants to keep her job at the San Francisco Times, she’ll have to find a way to spice up her lifestyle column. Even if it means posting her profile as an eligible single on JDate .com. Sure, Anny’s a little out of practice. She hasn’t been with a man since she found Viagra in her ex-husband’s suit pocket, and he wasn’t taking it for her. But she’s got her friends to help her fumble her way through the strange and intriguing world of online dating.

After hearing cautionary tales from the trenches—about “boomer oldies” who drag around pictures of their dead wives and fixed-income misers who wine and dine their dates at chain restaurants—Anny is relieved to meet Marv Rothstein, a charming . . . 75-year-old diamond dealer. Unfortunately, he’s also a Digital Age Don Juan who prowls singles sites for younger women. Not be outdated by this “Serial JDater,” Anny realizes Marv is the perfect subject for her flagging column and chronicles his sexcapades for the reading public. But when the new column becomes an overnight hit, Anny can’t help but feel conflicted—because now she’s having sex with Mr. X . . . and it’s nothing less than extraordinary.

    Selected this audiobook because I enjoyed the narrator, Barbara Rosenblat, on a previous book. The story has an interesting premise, but I found it did not progress much and the repeated scenes were very thinly stretched out. There were, however, some lines that made me laugh out loud. I also enjoyed that the story was about women who were above age 55. So it wasn't a total waste of time, it was humorous, light, and I stuck with it. Definitely, the reader, Rosenblat, made it more enjoyable than if I had just read the paperback. The main character, Annie, is quite full of herself, yet at the same time dumb. Sometimes I just yelled "What? You idiot!" Helped pass the time in the car, but probably would not select anything else by this author.
