Sylvia's Second Act by Hillary Yablon

"Wedding drama is the best," and Sylvia Fisher absolutely agrees. She should know after making it her career and being damn good at it. But the wedding belle that broke her was her daughter's best friend, the bridezilla who set fire to her front lawn. And now she's sixty three, stuck living with her husband at a senior condo in Boca Raton, and hating her life. The icing on the cake is, upon returning home, she catches sight of her arch-enemy Belinda and her husband in a very delicate position, and the cherry on top is hubby Louis admitting he lost all of their money in a shady investment scheme. What will Sylvia do now...possibly fulfill her dream of living in Manhattan with her best friend, shopping for designer clothes, and revitalizing her wedding planning life?

This is a rom-com for the over sixty set, with plenty of laughs, family agita, insurmountable problems, tears and yes, romance. But it's also a novel that emphasizes self-love and self-awareness and there's no better drama than that.
