A Round-Heeled Woman: My Late-Life Adventures in Sex and Romance by Jane Juska
1.0
Ugh! That's about all I can say about this book. The premise was cute--it's the memoir of a woman who decided that even though she was older (66) she still wanted intimacy, so she puts out a personal ad for someone to talk to and be intimate with. But it's hard to read a memoir about a person you dislike so completely.
She jumped topics so frequently, talked about multiple men in the same sentence, and didn't explain people enough for me to keep them straight. She quoted authors too much, talked about her younger years, in which (I thought) she was a terrible wife and mother, doped up on drugs all the time, but then she expects me to sympathize because she missed the touch of a man? No, thank you. Get over yourself.
