I'm a white woman of a certain age reading this novel that is classified as "African American fiction." I loved it - marked spots to read to my husband, laughed out loud, stopped to think about some of the cultural implications. I appreciated this quick read as the story of one woman's midlife "readjustment" -- yes, there is a lot that is culture-specific but hey, that just gives me an opportunity to put a different perspective on things -- but there is a lot that is funny, heartwarming, thought-provoking, and inspiring. It won't appeal to everyone, but it has something to say, lightly and humorously, about maturing, body image, who we are, and how we become who we want to be.
