Gray Hair Don’t Care

"Ha! Well, as my own years begin to add up, I find myself gravitating more and more towards not only characters with some miles on them, but also towards stories that make us believe it’s never too late to find true love in life. So, I’m always on the lookout for emotionally satisfying stories with strong heroines over forty who are embarking on a ‘second act’ in their lives. “Sheer escapism seems to remain the overarching theme in romance, now more than ever” On the one hand, Gray Hair Don’t Care by Karen Booth is the ultimate Gen-X romance, as it centres on two college best friends who, after losing touch for more than twenty years, run into one another and have a single night of passion that ends badly in the morning. When they see each other again some years later, their new working relationship forces them to face their past and to deal with feelings that neither of them have ever truly gotten over. But, on the other hand, this is also a searingly personal tale of a woman navigating her way through middlescence, of finding herself after a lifetime of self-doubt, and of letting her natural sparkle shine even brighter. I’m always in the mood for empowering stories like these."
