Becca Novak is building a new life at 40 years old after too long in a stale marriage and an unfulfilling career. Her new apartment is small but one of several in a renovated Victorian hotel near downtown Tallahassee, F.L., charming if noisy and quirky. She's got hipster neighbors downstairs and a crazy cat lady next door...and a dreamboat blond Adonis who lives across the hall and is only 28. Becca's pretty sure she can't stand younger men, and Dreamboat has a different girlfriend at the start of every month. It's all cool, though. It's great. Becca's just happy to have a chance to live her own life. Alone. It's awesome, really. Totally super. ----------------- **AUTHORIA** This was originally published under a pseudonym with the title "Becca's Front Door."
