博客來Synopsis: Laurie Anderson believes in repeat performances, especially when it comes to marriage. Thankfully, she finally got it right with her fifth husband and is happily living on the side of fifty in a town known for only one thing-its sins. Now she just wishes she could create a new pastime besides standing in front of a mirror and pulling her skin back so she can see her original jawline again.
Laurie is not alone. Her best friends-wacko Sally CJ, respectable Frances, and white-knight deprived Marcia-are dealing with jiggly butts, saggy breasts, and a potpourri of men with more problems than them. Sally CJ, whose thirty-four double Ds are not shrinking with age, believes sex is the magic elixir for all evils. Frances, who just ended a dead-end relationship, is approaching aging through wine and expensive face creams. Marcia, a widow who has the ability to attract guys with major character flaws, is unintentionally transforming into a nun. As the women search for their next relationship, they reflect on youthful escapades and eventually create rules to guide them through the unfamiliar territory of the Internet and blind dating.
Menopausal Killer Sharks is an amusing, heartfelt tale centered around four middle-aged women who bravely face the third act of life with humor and, most importantly, each other.
