No! I Don't Want to Join a Book Club : Diary of a Sixtieth Year (Paperback)

From the Publisher: Approaching what she believes will be the most interesting period of her life, nearly sixty-year-old curmudgeon Marie Sharp eschews the trend-oriented activities of her peers in order to enjoy her relationship with a new grandchild and a new gentleman friend. Reprint.A screamingly funny and poignant story about embracing life beyond middle age || Marie Sharp is heading toward sixty and is just fine with it. SheÂ's already had plenty of excitement in her life: sex and drugs in the freewheeling sixties, career and children, marriage and divorce. Now sheÂ's ready to settle into a quiet, blissfully boring routine. No Italian classes or gym memberships or bicycle trips across Europe, thank you very much! Marie just wants to put her feet up and Â?start doing old things.Â? || SheÂ's even sworn off men! But as it turns out, life still has some surprises in store, the biggest of which is a new grandson on the way. WhatÂ's more, Archie, her old childhood crush, suddenly reenters her life, and her closest friend falls seriously ill. Armed with a biting sense of humor, Marie wrestles with a life that refuses to follow her plansÂ?and may still offer more possibilities than she realizes.
