Lindsey Friedland is a 52 year old woman who basically starting life over after a stint with breast cancer and a divorce from an abusive husband. Both of these life changing actually happened before the book begins. Her life is anything but boring as she navigates through this new existence all the while being plagued with hot flashes. I loved her voice in the story throughout all of her trials and tribulations. This book left me smiling and the only reason I didn’t give it five stars is because it left me with too many unanswered questions. I want to see where she is now! If the author writes a sequel, I will revise my rating! Thank you to LibraryThing for the advanced reading copy! (

This was a very real love story. Something that all woman have faced at one time or another, but with a twist of a second lease on life. I thought the first half was just okay, but the second half made sticking with the book worth it. (

Review:
"Pause: by Sara Stamey

My Opinion:

We find 'Pause' was indeed an engaging, inspiring story about what 52-year-old Lindsey Friedland had to endure in her life. How will this all work out for Lindsey from an abusive father, Arlen, ex-husband Nick, navigating around menopause, breast cancer, medical malpractice, and now seeming to want to get back into the dating scene? Will she get the new beginning of what she wanted after finally getting rid of that abusive husband? Where will she go from here? Be ready for a story filled with a commotional ride filled with emotions along with many ups and downs, with heartbreaking, heartwarming, and still where I did find me laughing and crying at some of it. I enjoyed how this author had Lindsey's as she 'fights to answer the questions or at least find a way to put them on pause.' Now, to understand all that is about, you must pick up 'Pause' and read it yourself. Would I recommend this read? YES! (

Pause is a well written, highly entertaining account of a divorced, middle-aged woman. Lindsey has been through a lot. She was at one time a very active woman, she loved her job as a river-rafting guide, she was an outdoorswoman, loved to go hiking also. It all came crashing down. Now she is 52 years old, divorced (a good thing), has had breast cancer, (a not so good thing), and is going through menopause,(also not a good thing), with all the symptoms and hot flashes you can possibly not want to ask for. This book is her story filled with a rollercoaster ride of emotions, ups and downs. It is told in a witty, often hilarious voice. I truly enjoyed reading Lindsey's story and I recommend it to all women- an affirmation that, yes, there is life after menopause!!
Thank you to the publisher Book View Cafe and to Library Thing for the free ARC of this novel, I am leaving my honest review in return. (

“Sara Stamey’s novel PAUSE–whose heroine is a feisty, determined, middle-aged woman endeavoring to restart her love life and a career in journalism–is filled with lyrical prose and pure, thought-provoking joy.”

aggiunto da SaraStamey | modificaIndieReader Review

"I swiftly found myself enraptured by Lindsey's environment, determination, and lifestyle.... Stamey's plot is breezy, her treatment of Lindsey's romances work marvelously, and her book is incredibly hard to put down. Her characters are real people you come to care about.... It's most highly recommended."

aggiunto da SaraStamey | modificaReaders' Favorite - 5 Star Review

“Lindsey’s banter with her best friends as well as her complex family dynamics feel extremely realistic…. Lindsey herself is an appealing and capable hero, both intelligent and relatable. A solid, engaging tale about the importance of self-knowledge.”

aggiunto da SaraStamey | modificaKirkus Reviews

“Stamey’s lovely, inspiring, often funny novel… will touch the hearts of readers…. Stamey’s achievement is the realistic, down-to-earth, eminently relatable Lindsey and all she offers contemporary readers.”
