It may be colder than a well-digger’s can outside, but
inside, I’ve come across the first must-read novel that will make perfect beach
(or couch cozy if the thermometer continues to fall) read.
Pauline’s perils begin while she is at work. Although she is
a highly regarded employee, downsizing can affect even the most promising
career track. A termination letter throws her into a tailspin.
Now the military veteran doesn’t know what to do with
herself. She thought she had a solid marriage, but it seems like her husband is
growing distant and spending more and more time with one of his co-workers,
Lindsay.
Pauline decided to take advantage of the G. I. Bill and goes
back to school. She wants to start a
business, but has no idea what kind. She takes business classes and one poetry
class. Her professor is a heart throb. Pauline’s life spirals further out of
control.
What ensures is both heartbreaking and hysterical, but
leaning more toward the hysterical. I laughed so hard at times that I almost
wet myself. I think the funniest scene, and there are so many, was when Pauline
left the dog, George Bush, tied to the garage door, forgot about him, then hit
the button to raise the door. The second funniest scene is when both Pauline
and her 16-year-old daughter are in the doctor’s office. No more tips…you have to read this! It’s the
funniest book I’ve read since Jackie Lee Miles released Divorcing
Dwayne in 2008.
I give The Perils of Pauline 6 out of 5 stars
