Finding Yourself (Not Romance)
This is a great story about a middle-aged woman finding herself again after giving up her personal dreams when she got pregnant very young. Now after years as a neglected and put-upon housewife, she's trying to improve herself and her life by going to college, which she never got to do. She's being "twenty again."
Her story is heartbreaking. She was once so vibrant, creative, and confident. But that made this journey feel really fulfilling. I loved seeing her get her spark for life back and get back in touch with who she used to be. I loved seeing her son mature and finally connect with and respect his mother.
Unfortunately the romance subplot was really not interesting. It wasn't the focus thankfully, but honestly I don't think it needed to be there at all. They did not have chemistry and I don't think she needs a new romance at this moment in her life.
