It Never Stays in Vegas

Lucy is forty-two when it hits: the stunning realization that her life went off-track years before and never regained its footing. She hardly noticed at the time, too busy raising three kids and navigating the ups and downs of marriage to an admittedly adoring husband. She loves her family dearly, yet she can't escape the nagging sense that her life doesn't match the dreams of her youth. Further complicating matters is the reappearance of Matthew, her first love and the father of her first child. In a fit of midlife rebellion, she rashly agrees to a rendezvous with Matthew in Las Vegas, never suspecting that her illicit vacation will force her to confront another long-buried secret. In Vegas, Lucy must reexamine each of her life choices, her ideas of friendship and love, even the truth and power of her own sexuality. Sure to ring familiar with women of "a certain age," this novel of rediscovery is humorous and poignant, an irreverent portrait of one woman's quest for happiness.

It Never Stays in Vegas
What a book...loved reading it from page 1...couldn't put it down!A must read for women of all ages.

5Beautifully written  Feb 03, 2010
By P. Sander
This was a great read...beautifully written tackling what so many women go through trying to keep balance between strong sense of selves, and the selfless demands of family life and motherhood. Many times I sighed as Lindy put eloquently into words what I have felt, and many times I laughed along with Lucy as she remembered her past. Highly recommended.

5Finger on the Pulse!  Jan 21, 2010
By Kimberley Clarke
Lindy Hughes' novel It Never Stays in Vegas is so engaging and easy to read that you are unaware of the depth and honesty of the sentiments contained until the last few pages. Hughes has built a strong and believable character in Lucy. The wicked sense of humour that Lucy displays is exhibited on virtually every page. She is insightful but sometimes, like most real people, oblivious about their place in the world and how they are going to find comfort in their own skin. What I especially like about this character is that she does not whinge or engage in self-pity. Her attempts to find out who she is as a person are hysterical not pathetic. This is a wonderful first novel and I look forward to Lucy's escapades on the Camino!

5It Never Stays in Vegas  Jan 06, 2010
By Andrea Evans
When this little black book arrived 12 days earlier than anticipated it was met with great excitement.

Knowing the Author I sat down and was gripped from page one. The book is cleverly written moving from present to past and city to city. I read the book in one go. I could not put it down.

The parallels to my life, travels, experiences and emotions made it feel like it had been written for me. Lindy has managed to put her midlife crisis into perspective and has done it for so many of us......

A light, funny and serious read which I enjoyed immensely.
