Questa recensione è stata scritta per Recensori in anteprima di LibraryThing. Kat, Carla, and Elise were friends in high school but have drifted apart. Now in their forties, events happen to bring them together. They realize that their lives were as perfect as they thought, but that they can change.This is a great book about empowerment. These women all feel past their prime and that they need to change. Others who read this can think about rediscovering their joys and finding what is best for them. It is a quick, fun read that I would recommend to any woman of any age. Kat, Carla and Elise were high schools friends, only to lose touch when Kat moved away to New York. Factor in careers, marriages and the passing of time, these women slowly drifted apart, only to be reunited again when Kat lost her job. On her last day at work, she came home to find her much younger, live-in boyfriend engaging in self-activity while browsing the internet. Fed up, she decides to return home to Missouri to think about the next chapter in her life. Upon arrival, she reconnects with her two best friends Elise and Carla. Elise is married to Michael, has a son in college and is a successful dermatologist. Carla is the face that everyone loves and a popular TV anchor. As the friends catch up, they learn that life sometimes doesn't turn out as planned. The Cougar Club is a book about 40-something women coming into their own when things turn upside down. Together these women are able to face the curve balls life throws at them. The Cougar Club is my first book by this author and will not be the last. Questa recensione è stata scritta per Recensori in anteprima di LibraryThing. I've read McBride's mystery series and must say she did far better with this book than she ever did with the Débutante Drop Out series! This was a fast, easy read with characters that were fun to get to know. I'd definitely recommend it to my 40+ year old friends as I know they can totally relate to the story line! Questa recensione è stata scritta per Recensori in anteprima di LibraryThing. I really enjoyed this book. Since I'm only 25, it's a book that probably should have struck a chord with me in the sense of a glance at the possible future, and it did in that sense. But it also hit home with events that are going on in my life right now. I was recently laid off, broke up with my long-term boyfriend, and moved out of his house where I'd lived for four years. (I also was diagnosed with medical problems. I'm happy to say that this didn't parallel the book, or I would have started to feel a little freaked out!) Maybe I'm a cougar in training! ;)
They are middle-aged, hear them roar. And so they do, this trio of 40-something careerists and lifelong BFFs....Kat’s abrupt job loss sends her running home to St. Louis, which triggers a reunion of the three friends and prompts their rediscovery of each other and the awakening of their inner cougars. In the process, the gals rifle through a slew of good-looking young hunks in the search for love and meaningful employment....McBride, author of the YA series the Debs, explores new territory with these adult heroines and puts together a good-old-girls club with characters who are smart and insatiable, and who like their men young, athletic, and accommodating. It may not be likely, but it sure is a fun fantasy. (Feb.) Three girlhood friends are reunited at age 45 when Kat Maguire is fired from her New York advertising job, dumps her younger but wealthier boyfriend, and returns to St. Louis. Her two best friends, Carla Moss, the number-one news anchor in St. Louis, and Elise Randolph, successful dermatologist and empty nester, are facing their own issues with aging. Carla's ex-husband, who is also her boss, is trying to replace her with his latest perky young girlfriend despite Carla's on-air popularity, and Elise's plastic surgeon husband seems never to come home, claiming to be spending all his time with the partner in his practice. As the three talented, attractive, vibrant women reinvent themselves, they find a slew of younger men who find them enticing. Despite some romance and a traditional romantic conclusion for one of the protagonists, this is more chick-lit than romance with brand names, designer shoes, and the power of female friendship at the forefront.--Tixier Herald, Diana Copyright 2010 Booklist From Booklist, Copyright © American Library Association.

Cougar Club tells the story of three friends, each in a different stage in their life, going through midlife experiences and slowly finding their way to true happiness under stressful circumstances. One finds herself out of a job, one feels like her perfect marriage is in trouble, and the third fears she is being replaced by a younger model.
I wasn’t sure where the book was going to go but I enjoyed the journey of the lives of these three women and how they come back together after so long apart and help each other through their struggles. It’s the kind of relationship every girl wishes they had with their friends.
A very quick and fun read. Great for all ages but also a new perspective on life under every circumstance.
