Her adult children, her loyal former members of the Save Angie Crisis Intervention Team (Jessica, Gwen, and Marie), and boyfriend Tim host a fiftieth birthday bash for Angie. She enjoys the outpouring of love, but also wants her relationship with Tim to turn a bit more serious than the somewhat casual it is at the moment. Worse, her ex-husband Bob who wasted their savings and dumped her for the Neighborhood watch captain Queen King (see IT'S NEVER TOO LATE TO GET A LIFE) is always around, though Angie has told him to go wrestle his female Winnebago. Finally, she learns she is truly getting old when she learns she will soon become a grandma.

At work, a new boss with the personality of a Hussein on a bad hair day and a need to micromanage to the point of dotting all "I"s drives Angie over the edge even further than the ex does. She decides to she must fix this tin dictator before he makes work unbearable. Her ploy is to use her womanly wiles to charm him into trusting her to do the right thing. How could something so simple go so wrong?

This is a fun addition to the It's never too Late series as Angie's life continues to serve as the basis for chaos theory. As she turns fifty she has doubts about her abilities to turn on a man because of her age and her becoming a grandma. However, she proves she still can be a seductress. Readers will enjoy her latest exploits.
