Janice Kaplan

In a world where plastic surgery is as popular as a pair of sexy Manolo Blahniks, suburban single mom Jessica Taylor is trying to make it past forty with nothing more than moisturizer and a swipe of mascara. Her glamorous best friend, TV producer Lucy Baldor, has a different idea of aging gracefully. To Jess’s dismay, Lucy announces that she’s taken a lover. A very famous lover. Her husband is bound to find out, but Lucy’s too wrapped up in the joys of expensive lingerie to care. Jess lands in her own romantic predicament when her sexy French ex ends up back in her life—and in her bed.

Whether navigating bake sales or bagels-and-Botox parties, these wise and witty women know that their friendship will remain the one true thing they can count on. Well, that and a good push-up bra, of course. From Thai massage to tantric sex, who would have thought forty could be so much fun?
