“Najedi se šljokica i cijeloga ćeš dana blistati!”
Sylviji je dosta udovoljavanja društvenim normama i ljudima u njezinom životu pa kada zatekne svog muža u krevetu sa lokalnom namigušom umirovljeničkog naselja u Boca Ratonu Sylvija to ne shvati kao kraj nego priliku za novi početak. U društvu najbolje prijateljice Evie Sylvija započinje novo poglavlje svoga života.
Oh Sylvija! Pa osvojila si me doslovno od prve stranice! Mislim da nema boljeg osjećaja za vrijeme čitanja od onoga kada od prve stranice kliknete sa knjigom i likovima. A ovi likovi su ultrazabavni! Smijala sam se na glas i čitala čak i u vožnji što je inače za mene nemoguća misija (nisam ja vozila hahahaha).
Sylvija je zabavna, duhovita i pomalo luckasta što mislim da je osobina koja bi nam svima dobro došla u životu pa bi tada možda hodali okolo s manje namrgođenim licima i manje stresa. Ona je umirovljenica. I obožava Seks i grad. Sylvija želi doživjeti svoj “Seks i grad” i to je ono što čini ovaj roman drugačijim. Pokazuje nam da starija dob nije samo vrijeme u kojem se čeka kraj života. Pokazuje nam da i u mirovini postoji “Seks i grad” ako mi tako želimo.
Za život kakav želimo nikada nije kasno! Sve što nam treba je jedna prijateljica koja vjeruje u nas i odluka da sebe stavimo na prvo mjesto.
Sonatina nikada ne razočara svojim odabirom, ali ovaj me oduševio! Kako kaže @citateljica kako i ne bi kad je Syviju birala Silvia 😊
Ako se želite opustiti i zabaviti uz urnebesnu romantičnu komediju onda je ova knjiga sve što vam treba!
„Stoga ćemo nazdraviti mladosti, bilo da je biološka ili samo u glavi. Nazdravit ćemo obitelji. Nazdravit ćemo cicama i depilaciji bikini-zone i svemu što nas podsjeća da je život još tu, traje i moramo ostati prisutni.“

Sylvia’s Second Act – Hillary Yablon
“Eat glitter and shine all day!”
Sylvia is fed up with conforming to social norms and the people in her life, so when she finds her husband in bed with the local wink of a retirement community in Boca Raton, Sylvia doesn’t take it as the end but an opportunity for a new beginning. In the company of her best friend Evie, Sylvia begins a new chapter in her life.
Oh Sylvia! Well, this was love from the first page! I think there is no better feeling while reading than when you click with the book and the characters from the first page. And these characters are ultra fun! I laughed out loud and read even while driving, which is normally an impossible mission for me (I wasn’t driving hahahaha).
Sylvia is fun, witty and a bit crazy, which I think is a trait that would be useful for all of us in life, so maybe we would walk around with less frowns and less stress. She is retired. And she loves Sex and the City. Sylvia wants to experience her Sex and the City and that is what makes this novel different. It shows us that old age is not only a time to wait for the end of life. It shows us that even in retirement there is Sex and the City if we want it that way.
It’s never too late for the life we want! All we need is one friend who believes in us and the decision to put ourselves first.
If you want to relax and have fun with a hilarious romantic comedy then this book is all you need!
“Therefore, we will toast youth, whether it is biological or just in the head. We’ll toast the family. We will toast to tits and waxing the bikini area and everything that reminds us that life is still here, continues and we must stay present.”
