Some might call it a midlife crisis, but Josie Novak prefers to think of it as a midlife awakening.
With her relationship in shambles and her career floundering, Josie is at a crossroads. Enter fairy godmother aka best friend Brigitte, offering Josie a chance to make the dream of opening her own bar a reality. But achieving dreams is not an easy thing, especially when you're dating over forty and helping friends through the highs and lows of marriages, babies being born and babies leaving home, and all the other things life throws at this group of women as they navigate modern-day femininity.Both heart-wrenchingly sad and laugh-out-loud funny, this forty-something coming of age story teaches Josie that being a woman might not be a fairy tale, but it is an elusive magic all its own.
Trigger warning: reference to sexual assault
What readers are saying:
I laughed until I cried. I loved this book. Josie was real, with real life problems, even her cat thinks it's a dog. I could not put it down and read it in one day, I was hooked from page one. My first book by this author and definitely not my last. I highly recommend this book! Robin R, Goodreads review
Elusive Magic by Heather Huffman is actually the first book I've ever read by this author and I'm totally hooked. Once I started I couldn't put it down. Reading about Josie and her friends, her heartbreak, her dreams, and finally her love kept me wanting more (I still do! I didn't want it to end). I wholeheartedly recommend Elusive Magic to anyone looking for that perfect escape that just draws you in. Alisha C, Goodreads review
