About this ebook
This darkly funny novel recounts Wendy Sinclair’s spin-crazy life in Las Vegas after she impulsively decides to not go home to Houston following a bizarre girls’ weekend in May 2015.
The confused, unhappy 45-year-old newlywed soon rents a ramshackle apartment; wallows in a blur of spas, malls and buffets, and ultimately becomes a designer of cocktail-waitress uniforms and an impersonator in a casino show. Along the way, she hangs out with a hot playboy-pilot, an over-sexed glamorista BFF, a dreamy rock-band manager, and a slew of marauding munchkin neighbors.
The phone fights with Roger, Wendy’s workaholic husband waiting impatiently in Houston, are louder and more raucous than a hot craps table at Caesar’s! Does she go back to him, or will her midlife crisis become a midlife makeover?
