Hot Flash by Kathy Carmichael

http://www.kathycarmichael.com Author Bio: Welcome to the world of Kathy Carmichael where there are evil dust bunnies and troublesome trolls lying in wait around each bend, ready to make you laugh and smile and discover your inner child.

This book was so laugh-out-loud funny that even a year later I shake my head at all the antics the characters did within the pages. I love a good comedic book but sometimes a novel can be both funny and yet not as greatly written as you hope. Luckily for us, Hot Flash is NOT one of those. From the first page until the last, you will find yourself enthralled not only with the humorous and outrageous events but the very cadence and flow of the author’s words.

Synopsis: 

Calm, cool, and premenopausal?

In this laugh-out-loud story about self discovery and coming to terms with aging, forty-year-old Jill Morgan Storm sets out to find the man of””if not her dreams, her son’s college tuition. Thanks to survey responses from couples celebrating significant anniversaries, she’s discovered the secret to a successful marriage: a man who travels. When she “auditions” traveling salesmen, she’s hoping for one week of marital bliss, three weeks off, and a monthly paycheck. Will she find herself and the man of her schemes?

My Review: “Maybe life is not like a box of Tampax. Perhaps it is more like a Goodwill store. There are useless items all over the place, but you never know when you will uncover a treasure.” I love, love, love this book! Ms. Carmichael has written a sensational novel that will leave you laughing throughout all of Jill’s hijinks. Hot Flash is the story of what one woman will go through to give her child all he deserves. The way Jill jumps blindly into dating and comes out smelling like a disaster is hilarious. I especially loved the bikini wax episode. This is a book that has feel good chick flick movie written all over it. Pay attention book and movie fans alike because I would not be surprised to see this on the big screen! A laugh-out-loud treasure of a book for women and mothers of all ages!
