More than 40 million middle-aged women are tumbling over the hill laughing all the way because the kids are grown, their menstrual periods stopped, and they survived at least four decades of arbitrary rules dictated by a crabby universe. They went to work with varying degrees of success and they brought home the bacon but threw it in the freezer and ordered pizza.

If you could sum up Midlife Happy Hour in three words, what would they be?
Relevant, Enlightening, Humorous
What did you like best about this story?
The author captures the frustrations and funny anecdotes about finding jobs and raising children during a time when we were told we could "have it all." The author discovers that is a lie - but her positive attitude carries her through with the help of her Midlife Happy Hour Club.
What does Elaine Ambrose bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
The author's true voice includes poignant stories about dealing with her invalid mother and even includes humor to describe planning a funeral. She adds tips about public speaking and writing blogs.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
The author dealt with embarrassing situations on her various jobs - and described the pain of losing a job and how she had the last word. Many women can relate to that.
Any additional comments?
The author has a pleasant voice - she sounds like a friend.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I gifted this audiobook to a friend with small children. They were traveling across country and the entire family enjoyed the narration.
Who was your favorite character and why?
My favorite characters were Miss Bitterpenny and Miss Wobblefloss. Their story titled "Hootenfloot Flies the Coop" about a lost owl reads similar to a Dr. Seuss story.
Which character – as performed by Elaine Ambrose Romano – was your favorite?
The boy named Adam in the story titled "The Birthday Boy - the author definitely knew him.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Laughed at the antics in all of the seven stories. There were a few tears shed in the story titled "Mama I've Had a Bad Day" about a sick child and how a mother used a scrapbook to cheer her family.
Any additional comments?
I'm eager for the print edition to be released in the spring.
