A Round-Heeled Woman: My Late-Life Adventures in Sex and Romance by Jane Juska
4.0
I decided to read this after seeing the play (of the same name, based on the book). A lot of the story was familiar from the play, but you can see where certain things were simplified, omitted, or amplified for the stage.
It's a good read and an easy one, for the most part fairly light although with some quite dark moments (for instance, a description of child sex abuse that is graphic, but not lingered over).
For myself, I find Jane Juska's story rather inspirational, and although I thought the play was fabulous, I'm glad I took the extra time to get the truest version of it.
