It is a quick read and for a sliver of a moment you feel bad for the author, but for the most part you don't. She made very interesting choices in her life. ( ) First half showed promise - moderately funny; with details of various & different types occupying the on-line dating scene being very instructional (author does the stumbling, saving me the slightest interest in stumbling on in her tracks). But it all went on far too long. Not to mention the hubris of this woman! If most American females are anything like her it's a wonder there is any real happiness in that country. no reviews | add a review
A cross between Nora Ephron and David Sedaris, longtime NPR commentator Marion Winik has a uniquely hilarious and relatable way of looking at life. Her stories of being single in middle age, marked by stylish writing and stunning candor, left readers bent double with laughter when they appeared in her column, rated "Best of Baltimore" by Baltimore Magazine.Highs in the Low Fifties follows Winik's attempt to rebuild her world as a once-widowed, once-divorced single mom. With her signature optimism, resilience, and poor judgment, Winik dives into a series of ill-starred romantic experiences. Her clarity about her mistakes and ability to find humor in the darkest moments--in love, and in all parts of life--has won her a growing crowd of devoted followers . . . and a few voyeurs.
