One of my favorite things to do is read and book and then watch the movie that is based off the book! I was so happy when we received the book copy of, "Flirting With Forty," and then saw that it was made into a Lifetime Original Movie. This book is a perfect beach read as it is mostly set in Hawaii! I definitely got into the summer mode and felt the need to go surfing after finishing this book.
"Flirting With Forty" is the story of a divorced mother of two on the brink of her 40th birthday who, while on vacation, enters into an unexpected romance with a much younger man and learns that life can begin at 40. The movie, which aired back in December on Lifetime, starred Heather Locklear and Robert Buckley.
I was disappointed with Locklear's performance and thought she was a bit drab in the movie, however, couldn't get enough of young and hunky actor Robert Buckley. I thought the movie kept very close to the book and liked the adaptation very much! Definitely check out this book and then go find the movie (Netflix, etc) and take a look at how the characters come to life! Take a look at the book cover and movie poster, too!
