520    "Her husband's cheating on her. She hates Boca. Sylvia is 
       mad and she isn't going to take it anymore. She's moving 
       back north, to the city of her dreams--with her best 
       friend, Evie, in tow. Think a screwball comedy featuring a
       sophisticated Thelma and Louise with martinis in hand . . 
       . When sixty-three-year-old Sylvia finds her husband in 
       bed with the floozy of their Boca retirement community, 
       she's shocked and furious . . . at first. By the time her 
       head stops spinning, Sylvia realizes that actually, this 
       isn't what she wants anymore anyway. So she enlists her 
       best friend, the glamorous older widow Evie, to join her 
       in setting up a new life in Manhattan. Sylvia's ex-husband
       may have lost her life savings, but Sylvia and Evie are 
       scrappy and determined, unopposed to pawning jewelry and 
       roughing it in tiny apartments. And before long, Sylvia 
       signs on to revive her decades-old wedding planning 
       business with a former professional rival. Sylvia has a 
       lot to prove, and beneath it all, she can't help but 
       wonder: Will she ever be able to get back into the dating 
       game? Sylvia doesn't want to be twenty-five or thirty 
       again. Her age gives her wisdom, experience, and 
       perspective. A career, sex, fun, and a new romance--her 
       entire second act is stretched out in front of her, 
       beckoning to her. It's her time, and watch out, world, 
       Sylvia is coming!"--|cProvided by publisher.
