I’m delighted to share two new five-star reviews for Linda’s Midlife Crisis. For an author, there’s nothing quite like the thrill of reading another review, so I hope you’ll excuse me blowing my own trumpet.

Linda’s Midlife Crisis is about a fifty year old woman in an unhappy marriage who manages to turn her life around.

What Amazon Says

How does a fifty-year-old woman start a new life?

Meet Linda Lockwood: fifty, fat, frumpy and bullied by her horrible husband Ron and the vile students and principal at the school where she teaches English. But her life is about to undergo a total transformation.

Linda suffers a breakdown after a traumatic classroom incident, and that brings out the worst in Ron and devious principal, Wayne Forsythe. Then she is rocked to discover her husband has a shocking secret.

With her own determination and the help of friends and family, she starts to turn her life around. She begins to succeed, but there are still some more surprises in store Linda.

A feel-good and inspirational romance for older women who love second chances and women’s fiction.

Heidi 5.0 out of 5 stars – A life-affirming message

Reviewed in Australia on 21 July 2024

Loved the message behind this book – that it’s never too late to change yourself and your life. It all starts with you. I enjoyed Linda’s story (no spoilers) with its believable characters and pithy observations on modern life. Toni Pike has the gift of creating a world out of small details that many of us can relate to. Highly recommended!

Gwendolyn Plano  5.0 out of 5 stars – The emergence of a heroine

Reviewed in the United States on February 16, 2024

Linda’s Midlife Crisis is a story of a woman who overcomes many obstacles to find fulfillment. Linda, the protagonist, is a relatable character. She’s 50ish, overweight, insecure, and married to a jerk. Eventually, the various pressures build up until she has a nervous breakdown, at which time, her husband leaves her. This development provides the needed turn in Linda’s life. She pulls herself together and makes changes in her life.

Toni Pike masterfully shows the devolvement of a marriage and the transformation of the victim into the heroine. The themes are universal, the characters are relatable, and the story is uplifting. This was a refreshing 5-star read.
