Publisher's summary
Although this is a sequel, it may be heard as a stand-alone novel.
The sequel to Vegas to Varanasi catches up with Anna and Kiran a couple of years after the event that brought the once “ugly duckling” high school acquaintances together. But will their romance continue to flourish in the face of a whole new set of insecurities brought on by middle age?
First, there’s Kiran, who has an unexpected health scare. While his doctors assure no permanent damage has been done, there seems to have been some damage to his personality, as the normally respectful and reserved Kiran begins behaving erratically and overtly. Anna wants to hope that this is temporary, sparked by the visit of Kiran’s womanizing, free-spirited cousin, Seth. But is this just the midlife Kiran surfacing?
Anna has midlife issues of her own. Now forty-eight, she’s navigating the onset of perimenopause and all the delights that come with it, from facial hair to mood swings to body temperature issues. On top of that, her two-year-old granddaughter is starting to show signs of a behavior disorder, bringing with it a whole other level of stress and worry.
Will Anna and Kiran finally find their happily-ever-after? Or end up stuck in a midlife mess in this romantic comedy of accepting change, and “the change”.

Story
When Eliza Whitney loses both her beloved husband and her high-powered job in the same month, she’s uncertain what the next chapter of her life will look like. At 53, she’s too young to retire and too old to start over. Then her estranged father’s widow contacts her and asks her to come to Sanibel Island to help settle his affairs. Eliza sees the trip to a place called Shellseeker Beach as a distraction from her loss and maybe a way to get some closure on the difficult relationship she'd had with her father.

I'm writing this letter because it's highly doubtful I'll ever garner the courage to say this to your face. So, here goes. We're totally wrong for each other. You're the proper single mum with a good head on your shoulders. I'm just the carefree British doctor passing through town and temporarily living in your converted garage until I head back to England. But here's the thing... for some bloody reason, I can't stop thinking about you in very inappropriate ways.

That’s why I search for Maddie’s biological father, and when I find him, ask him to become part of her life. What I didn’t expect is for him to become my best friend.

From her singing in the shower every morning, dancing in the kitchen while she makes coffee, and doing yoga in our living room, I can’t stop thinking about her in all the wrong ways.

Story
I’m the type of girl who’s given up on fairy tales. So when Beck – the hot new busboy at work - starts flirting with me, I know better than to get my hopes up. Happily ever afters aren’t for the average. I learned that the hard way. But how can I be expected to resist a man who can quote Austen, loves making me laugh, and seems to be everything hot and good in this world? Only there’s so much more to him than that. Billionaire playboy? Check. Troubled soul? Check.

light-hearted laughs and life
Anna has returned with a little bit more going on in her life than when we first met her (Vegas to Varanasi). There were more laughs, more lows, and more highs, but the underlying things was Anna. She was working through life and all that came with her life at this point in her life. This was most certainly and adult romance with comedy happenings along the way.
Jazmine Ramay still did a good job. Listening to book one and then this one things flowed well and you still was able to feel the connection.

Love and life after 40
Menopause to Matrimony was a hard book for me to get through. Not because it isn’t good. On the contrary, it’s a great combination of funny, emotional, and sweet. I love that it takes an honest look at midlife, warts and all, but it does it with such an upbeat tone that you can’t help but laugh. For me, it was a combination of laughter and tears, which brings me back to the thing that held me up on this one.
I was part way through the book when I lost my husband to the same health scare as Kiran, but that isn’t what made it so tough. Nope, what got me was that with some exceptions, this could’ve been our story. Some details are different, but the fundamentals are so similar that this one hit me right in the feels. So, I listened for brief periods at a time, and yes, this one is funny, so I laughed a lot, which is something I really needed. I also cried a lot as some things brought back memories of similar situations.
As it turned out, Shelly Hickman’s fast-paced and energetic story of second chances and romance after forty was exactly what I needed at this particular time in my life, and I really can’t thank her enough for such a wonderful story filled with some many equally wonderful characters. It all came together to be a bit of escape and a bit of therapy for this grieving widow, so this one is definitely on my recommended read list.
The story is a romance, but it isn’t that swoony, mushy kind of love story. Make no mistake, it’s obvious that Kiran and Anna love each other, but they also have the chaos of life and everything that comes with it. The entire book is told from Anna’s perspective, so we get all of her doubts and fears about everything from marrying again to things going on in her adult children’s lives to worrying about Kiran’s health, both physical and emotional. What is most impressive to me is that it all just feels real. It’s witty and often hilarious, but it still rings true, especially if you’ve been there. It’s also impressive that Hickman manages to give us so much of what’s happening in Kiran’s head by way of conversations and actions, so he’s still a big part of the story even if we don’t get his perspective.
Finally, we have the narrator, and Jazmine Ramay’s performance here is spot on how I’d expect Anna to sound. From her snark to her angst, it all comes through loud and clear, and the narration adds that something extra to an already terrific story. The sound quality is good overall. There were a few spots that you can hear what sounds like a hiss between chapters, but it isn’t loud and it doesn’t hinder the listening experience at all.
All in all, Menopause to Matrimony is a great follow-up to the first Fortytude book, and while I enjoyed them both, this one has a special place in my heart.
