It was an enjoyable revenge fantasy for this perimenopausal woman. ]]> ReadStatus9064773211 Thu, 13 Feb 2025 11:37:57 -0800 <![CDATA[Melissa wants to read 'Finding Meaning in the Second Half of Life: How to Finally, Really Grow Up']]> /review/show/7318111878 Finding Meaning in the Second Half of Life by James Hollis Melissa wants to read Finding Meaning in the Second Half of Life: How to Finally, Really Grow Up by James Hollis
