I am writing this review within minutes of finishing the book. Something I have never done. The tears are still drying. They are not sad tears they are WOW what a great book tears. This is one of the most beautiful books I've read in a very long time. I read a lot, from many different genres. As I was recently searching for something new and different to read I found this author. I knew nothing about the book except what was written in the description about two women both dealing with their own issues and through their work they become best friends. Everyone can relate to something in this book. The writing is amazing. The characters are so well thought out and the author brings it together so well. You will laugh. You will cry. You will say AWWWWW.It is so refreshing to read a book about midlife women dealing with midlife problems and how two completely opposite people forge a best friend bond that turns out beneficial to both of the characters.
I am so glad there is another book with Jean and Rosie. I can't wait to read how their friendship continues.

In Polyester Pajamas Jean and Rosie Series Volume 1 (Audible Audio Edition) Catherine Dougherty Carolyn Power Books Reviews
Jean at the start of the book is a very angry middle aged woman. She is going through a bitter divorce and is dragging her heels on it. If her husband Brian can be with someone else then he can pay for it. She also doesn't really like Rosie from the office because she is too happy and perky all the time. But over the course of the book she starts an unexpected friendship with her and they end up with something they never had before, a sister. Over the course of the book they deal with things like Rosie's ex fiancee and Jean's mother's death. Don't let the few mentions of church and the Bible keep you from enjoying the fun and unique friendship between two great characters. Can't wait to read the next book to see what other crazy things happen.
Although other readers have obviously enjoyed In Polyester Pajamas, and I can understand why they would, I have to admit that it just didn't ring any bells for me. I think, perhaps, I was expecting too much.
The main turn off, for me, was that I really couldn't connect with the main character, Jean, and I didn't feel much for the secondary character, Rosie, either. Jean's personality (which, of course, had all the rough edges knocked off as the story went on) just grated on me, even when she was getting her act into gear and turning her life around. As for Rosie, she was too nice and dull. So there you have it ... I am officially hard to please. The cranky-pants main character annoyed me and the nice secondary character bored me.
Having said that, I didn't completely dislike the book, but my search for truly relatable, interesting, fun, well-rounded, believable "boomer" fiction continues. Too many parts of this just did not feel believable. For example, Jean chatting to Rosie before her flight to Cleveland. She waited until they were giving the final boarding call to actually head for the security gate. Seriously! I would have been hyperventilating.
The one part that did feel somewhat believable was when Jean was reconciled with her mother and spent time with her before she died. Although that dragged on a little, it had the sense of being real.
Although the book does have Christian overtones, it's not what I would call your standard Christian novel, and there's nothing wrong with that. However, I'm not sure the average Christian reader will take to it (and I could be wrong), but on the other hand, the fairly obvious Christian message may turn off other readers. The author has attempted to communicate it in a very off-hand, casual way, but it actually doesn't come across that way at all.
So, although I totally acknowledge that others have thoroughly enjoyed In Polyester Pajamas, I was actually quite glad when I finally finished it. I did buy the second book in the series when I bought this one, based on the glowing reviews. I will probably get around to reading it sometime, but I'm not in any great hurry.
Jean was an unhappy woman. At age 50, her children had left home, and her husband had left her. She wasn't the easiest woman to get along with. When in a bad mood, everyone was in a bad mood. Then Rosie came to work for her real estate company. Rosie was the exact opposite of Jean friendly and always possative. An unlikely friendship began to form, in spite of Jean's initial reluctance. Together they began to share their mid-life adventures.
This isn't the type of book I normally pick up. It proved to be a heart warming story of best friends, love, loss, and new beginnings. Pacing was a little slow for my taste, though the dialogue worked well. If you like middle aged chick lit this is a must read.
A wonderful story about two very different women. Jean is quite negative, sad and not very friendly. Rosie is Jean 's complete opposite, she is positive, happy and very friendly. Rosie is happily married with a teen aged son, Jean however is in the middle of a nasty divorce with two grown sons who have also left to start their own lives. After a rough start these two women become the very best of friends thanks to Rosie's loving and patient ways.
Thankfully their friendship comes at the perfect time to help both through some serious ups and downs!
The story of their friendship is so special...you will not want to miss this book!!
This one left me scratching my head. Ultimately a disappointing story of the growing friendship between two very different women which feels like it never actually gets to (or reveals) the point. It doesn't help that the character telling the story is mostly unlikeable. The author had a weird habit of CAPSLOCKING dialogue which I TENDED to find EXTREMELY annoying and DISTRACTING. I believe there are better ways to add emphasis. Some plot devices used felt mismatched to the seeming intent of the book; several dramatic occurrences just felt wrong and out of place, as if they'd been lifted from a different book. Some nicely written passages showing depth and empathy were ruined by the selfish and at times just plain nasty main character. At least there was some character growth, but the journey wasn't worth it for me. I really wanted to like this.
I am writing this review within minutes of finishing the book. Something I have never done. The tears are still drying. They are not sad tears they are WOW what a great book tears. This is one of the most beautiful books I've read in a very long time. I read a lot, from many different genres.

You will say AWWWWW.
It is so refreshing to read a book about midlife women dealing with midlife problems and how two completely opposite people forge a best friend bond that turns out beneficial to both of the characters.
