Have you read any of this series? Have you read any of Nancy Thayer’s other books?Īudio Notes: I found this to be a great book to listen to – the humor kept the story moving along and the narrator, Carrington McDuffie, did a great job distinguishing each of the four main characters. I’m looking forward to picking up the rest of the books in this series and I hope they all prove to be as humorous as the first one.

There are even some touching moments throughout all the hilarity of the story. Some of this involves some pretty crazy schemes, but seems to work out for them in the end. What ensues after this initial meeting is plans for the four women to help each other out with the problems they have right now in their lives. They are all quite different – there’s a science professor, a personnel director, a massage therapist and an artist. The Hot Flash Club is a fun, quirky story of four women who happen to meet by chance at a retirement party. I’m so glad I did! Even though I am not quite at the point these women are, I still enjoyed the book. When I was looking for a new audio, I came across The Hot Flash Club and thought I would give it a try. My thoughts: I’ve read/listened to a few of Nancy Thayer’s books so far and have really come to like her style. Forks firmly in hand, they create a world for themselves in which their age becomes one of possibilities, and in which they can help each other and themselves. Chocolate cake is their preferred social stimulant, and double helpings are the rule. By chance, however, they meet, and not only do they find themselves discussing the end of their reproductive lives, but they also have much to share on the topics of motherhood, sex, and men. Nancy Thayer has written a coming-of-age novel about four women on the brink of menopause – the “Hot Flash Club.” These women have skills, smarts, and secrets, but they’re all feeling over the hill and generally in a bad way. From the back of the audio case: Ordinarily, a coming-of-age novel is about a young person on the brink of adulthood.
