Publishers Weekly calls Susan Slater "... witty and absorbing ..."

 

Shelly Sinclair's life seems perfect-marriage to a successful Albuquerque doctor, two grown boys, a beautiful home in the foothills of the Sandia Mountains, financial and emotional security. Until the night of Ed's retirement party and their thirty-fifth anniversary celebration, on the heels of her 60th birthday. That's when her perfect husband chooses to announce that he's asked someone to marry him-a someone thirty-nine years his junior. And, oh yes, she's the mother of his four-year-old child.

 

Alone. At sixty. To start over. Complicated by the reactions from her sons and friends, Shelly has to figure things out, one step at a time. Choosing a new home, receiving an emergency call to deal with her elderly parents, and dating for the first time in decades. At each new roadblock, Ed tends to show up, complicating matters with the pretense that he's there for her.

 

Just when she has seemingly met the real Mr. Right, even though being with him would mean leaving her beloved New Mexico, there comes another big loss and a threat to her life. Can Shelly cope with all the changes and remake her life to be exactly what she wants for herself?

 

Called zany, sexy, and poignant, with plenty of twists, 0-60 was optioned by Hollywood immediately after it was first published. A book club favorite and perfect for fans of Elana Johnson and Rachel Hanna.

 

Includes Book Club discussion questions.

"If you like surprising twists and turns this book certainly will offer you some. Right from the very first sentence on you are supplied with one jaw-dropping-moment after another. Keeps you reading - kept me up the first night until 5:30 am. I believe that this book would make a great movie." - 5 stars

 

"I loved "0 to 60!" What an entertaining book! It's sexy and stylish, while at the same time addressing a serious subject: starting over at 60." - J.P. 5 stars online review

 

"As I turned the pages I realized that Shelly was everything that I ever wanted to be. As situations arose, some that I have experienced, I watched her rise up and overcome ... a refreshing look at what could happen to any one of us at any given m...
