What to expect

Life's a bit of a beach these days for Ginger Walsh, who's single at forty-one and living back home in the family FROG (finished room over garage). Geri, her BlackBerry-obsessed sister, is also nearly off the deep end about her pending fiftieth birthday (and might just drag Ginger with her). Toss in a dumpster-picking father, a Kama Sutra T-shirt –wearing mother, a movie crew come to town with a very cute gaffer, an on-again, off-again glassblower boyfriend, plus a couple of Red Hat realtors, and hilarity ensues.

Critics Review

  • “Claire Cook is wicked good!”

    Jacqueline Mitchard, author of The Deep End of the Ocean

  • “Midlife love, laughter, sibling rivalry and self-discovery…Goes down as easy as it sounds.”

    People

  • “Dive into this gleefully quirky coming-of-age story centered on…a  forty-one-year-old. With the help of her hippie parents, Boyfriend the cat,
    and a shark-crazy movie crew, Ginger Walsh is finally growing up—and
    there’s no escaping a few growing pains.”

    Redbook

  • “Perfect-for-the-beach summer novel…a bumpy delight.”

    Boston Common

  • “In this lighthearted, breezy read, Cook displays a wry sense of humor and knows how to write realistic characters.”
