Description

When your marriage fails, you have a choice. You can curl up on the couch with a tub of ice cream and wallow in self-pity…or you can pick yourself up and search for a better life with a better man.

Kelly Green was faced with this choice.

She was the quintessential American wife and working mother of four small children. She had it all and did it all; her hobbies were interior decorating, Pilates, school fundraisers, and book clubs – basically, all the stuff women think they’re “supposed” to do.

Then her “perfect” world was rocked by betrayal and divorce…and Kelly threw out her ice cream, put on a sexy dress, and spent a year re-discovering what it was really like to live.

She partied with and dated Hollywood’s A-list, powerful Wall Street traders, elite art collectors, Argentinian polo players and chart-topping indie rock stars. Her road to recovering her self-esteem was paved with late nights, wild flings and rare company.

Through it all, Kelly questioned everything she thought she knew about marriage, love and settling for the quiet routines of suburban motherhood.

Told with unflinching honesty, her debut memoir is the bare-all story of a headstrong woman in search of a better inner life – with or without a better man.

When your marriage fails, you have a choice. You can curl up on the couch with a tub of ice cream and wallow in self-pity…or you can pick yourself up and search for a better life with a better man.

"Great, fun, dishy read ... I enjoyed living vicariously through Kelly's life and escapades. ... My favorite parts of this book, however, are when she strips down to the core of her feelings as a forty-something woman essentially sorting out how to get her groove back after a painful divorce." - Amy Edwards

I don't read many memoirs, but the description fir Kelly Green's Back in the Game instantly caught my attention. What do you do when the life you knew suddenly crumbles around you? How do you continue on when the very thing that defined you and your life is now gone? Those are the questions Green ponders as she tries to find herself again after a devastating divorce. In this memoir she lets us look in through her rear mirror as she travels, dates, and lets loose, all in the name of finding the woman she lost somewhere admits becoming a wife and mother. It is an interesting and thrilling ride made especially poignant as Green doesn't shy away from sharing the realistic and painful moments along the way.

Kelly Green's sincerity is astounding and that's the main reason why I liked this book so much. She had the courage to write what a lot of us just think and, most important, she had the courage to do what a lot of us barely consider possible: regain happiness after a failure.
Mother of four, divorced, single at 42 Kelly made the decision to learn from the pain of the divorce just being open and adventurous, giving herself a chance to think and live out of the box.
