Emerson was over 40 and divorced. Finding out that your ex was dating was like a punch to the gut. Then comes the sex bucket list, which her friends encouraged her to take on. Then off she goes. The items are ticked off her list. Self-pleasure, pole dancing, taking nude photos, etc. Emerson awkwardly tries to go through the list while juggling work, grown kids, and a selfish, immature ex-husband, who doesn’t want her yet doesn’t want anyone else to have her either.
“It’s not time spent on sexual freedom or experimentation, but on finding myself again, feeling worthy of love again, and loving myself again.”
Emerson’s candid and witty voice was refreshing and humorous. She’s such a typical funny mom, especially when talking to her teen about being dumped for not having sex.
Soon, Emerson starts to experiment with a hot employee at work.
About 60% through, the whole thing becomes less about the sex list and more about dealing with the new boyfriend entering the family realm and the kids’ drama. This is where it goes lukewarm for me.
It’s an okay read if you like all the drama.
Rating: 3 stars
