What if you closed your eyes, blew out the candles, and your wish came true?
Ellie Jerome is a young-at-heart seventy-five-year-old who feels she has more in common with her twenty-nine-year-old granddaughter, Lucy, than her fifty-five-year-old daughter, Barbara. Ellie's done everything she can to stay young, and the last thing she wants is to celebrate another birthday. So when she finds herself confronted with a cake full of candles, Ellie wishes more than anything that she could be twenty-nine again, just for one day. But who expects a wish like that to come true?
29 is the story of three generations of women and how one magical day shakes up everything they know about each other. While Ellie finds that the life of a twenty-something is not as carefree as she expected, the sheer joy of being young again prompts her to consider living her life all over. Does she dare stay young for more than this day, even if it means leaving everyone she loves behind?
Fresh, funny, and delightful, 29 is an enchanting adventure about families, love, and the real lessons of youth.

I must be honest-- I know the author. That being said, like the main character Ellie, if I didn't have something nice to say, I wouldn't say it at all. Halpern does a wonderful job capturing the spirit of a different generation, and through this sweet story shows that perhaps they aren't so different at all. It is hard not to fall in love with Ellie Jerome and root for her during her adventure. While not quite as laugh-out-loud funny as some of her earlier work, this one has a well-developed plot and well-described characters that practically jump off the page. Having grown up in Philly with the author, I appreciated the many mentions of establishments past and present. But even without that extra layer for most readers, this is a great story that sands on its own. Buy it!!!Product details

29 edition by Adena Halpern Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
I really enjoyed reading this book. The funny, entertaining story keeps a reader interested all the way through. I actually liked this book enough that I bought it for my Grandma's 75th birthday. I knew it would be the perfect book for that occasion.
My adorable granddaughter said I would like it... She was right!
I shared this book at a book club with both 29 and 30 year old women and women in their 50's and 60's. The younger women did not like the book. The older women did. It is a tongue in cheek look at a 75 year old woman who gets to be 29 for a day. Humorous and easy to read. If you are over 55....READ IT.
I read "29" for our book club. At first I misunderstood the precept,
and was not thrilled with the book. I am 74 and just didn't care for the main character.
Once I got further into the book I started to appreciate the characters and their
relationships. This book is laugh out loud fun. Contains surprises and and really only a few people.
Three generations and a best friend. You will enjoy it I am sure.
This could have been my life in a lot of ways. I'm glad to have read this in my thirties because it really opened my eyes to how love and life work. Just because things aren't perfect doesn't make them wrong. We should all remember that. Really good plot, loved the characters and like I said above I loved the message. Thank you for the great read.
This is a fantastic book. I laughed at every paragraph for the first couple of hours. I have recommended it to every
female I know and especially those approaching the "wiser" years. A real winner!!!
Which of us hasn't wished, at one time or another, that we could go back in time to a younger, firmer body and start over - of course knowing what we do now? Well, this is a slight twist on that scenario. Ellie Jerome doesn't go back in time but for one day she gets to be 29 years old in today's world.
I loved this story and its characters. It is a light, refreshing, quick read but actually has a lot of to say - about aging and the way we handle it; choices and decision making; how we treat those that we love; and the things that we consider important in our lives.
I wish I could be 29 for one day....hmmmmm!
