Los Angeles Times 5/13/11: Book Review: ‘Between a Rock and a Hot Place’
Sometimes you just want someone to tell it to you straight. You may look and feel better than your grandmother or even your mother did at 50 but the idea that 50 is anything like 30, Tracey Jackson practically screams, is either a marketing scam or a line made up by a 50-year-old guy in a bar trying to pick up a 30-year-old woman…
Frogen Yozurt 5/13/11: Between a Rock and a Hot Place
The pop-culture mantra has it wrong: 50 isn’t the new 30, 50 is 50. And while today’s 50 may not look the same as one’s grandmother’s, one shouldn’t necessarily use a teenager as a role model either. Veteran screenwriter Jackson adopts a take-no-prisoners approach, with an Accept-o-Meter reading that tilts toward the kicking-and-screaming side…
The Art of 50 4/25/11: 50 is NOT the New 30
One day back in February I was sitting in bed, sipping on my coffee, and having a little pity party all while watching the TODAY show. My birthday was a few days earlier and I was having a hard time wrapping my head around the fact that I was officially a card carrying AARP member…
Mary and Money 3/26/11: My Money Tips are in Tracey’s New Book
Tracey Jackson has written about the second most awkward phase in a woman’s life with spit out your coffee humor and practical sisterly advice. I love it! I am also proud to have helped her with her chapter on money…
Not Ready for Granny Panties 4/15/11: Tracey Jackson – NRFGP Woman of the Week
You know Tracey Jackson even if you don’t know you know her. If you’ve ever been to the movies or watched television, you’ve doubtless seen her work; Tracey has over fifteen feature films and fourteen television pilots to her credit….
Champagne coursing through her veins, writer Tracey Jackson has a mind so provocatively exciting she could distract a stuck elevator full of strangers from panicking. Jackson listens tightly, one eye on detail, the other on the big picture, balancing self with others…
wowOwow 4/11/11: Liz Smith: Smart Women Ponder Age at Literacy Partners’ Le Cirque Luncheon
I DROPPED into the fabulous Le Cirque last week to see a clutch of good-looking women in the upstairs room. They were hearing all about beauty in all its guises, including age, through a program co-sponsored by Literacy Partners and this great restaurant…
Book Bargains and Previews 4/11/11: Between a Rock and a Hot Place
This is one of the most honest books I’ve ever read and it was really laugh-out-loud material. It was a great read for women entering mid-life and for those who aren’t too far away and would like to know what to expect…
The Really Little Bookstore 3/31/11: I’m Living a Teenage Dream
But I’m reading BETWEEN A ROCK AND A HOT PLACE by my friend Tracey Jackson. This book is funny as all get out. And despite the fact that she wants us to buckle down and face the demons of middle age, she is showing us how to do it with panache…
The Sunday Book Review 3/18/11: Between a Rock and a Hot Place
The subtitle already had me connected with the book : Why Fifty is Not The New Thirty. While I am not a woman in my 50’s, I am a woman. And no matter what age we are at, it always seems like we should be younger. That’s what they keep telling us anyway…
One Year of Firsts 3/14/11: Why 50 Can’t be the New 30
If you are a woman age 50+ like I am, you quickly come to understand no matter how well you’ve aged and taken care of yourself, you can’t fool yourself or anyone else. YOU ARE NOT 30. I don’t want to be 30 again but I think a lot of my friends feel stuck or that they’ve “come to the end of the line.” They think they’ve done all the exciting things they’re ever going to do…
National Enquirer 3/4/11: Hollywood Hot for ’50’ Book From ‘Shopaholic’ Writer
It’s THE hot new book celebrity women all want to get their hands on — and it’s already been featured on “The Today Show,” FOX and CNN! “Between a Rock and a Hot Place: Why Fifty Is Not the New Thirty” has just been penned by Hollywood screenwriter Tracey Jackson. Published by Harper Collins, it’s a hilarious, bare-knuckled, and ultimately practical appraisal of what it REALLY means to be a 50-year-old woman today…
Women’s Day 3/2/11: The Big M: Not Sagging or Drooping
Though I’m turning 50 this year, I hadn’t been feeling bad about my neck or any other body part until I read, Between a Rock and a Hot Place. Though Tracey Jackson doesn’t sugar coat the age by pretending it’s really the new 30…..

Palm Beach Post 2/25/11: Tracey Jackson’s bad news for women of a certain age: 50 is not the new 30
Tracey Jackson is the hilarious, brutally honest friend you need when you turn 50. The one who says things like: “There is no ‘pause’ in menopause. It should really be called Menocometoaschreechinghaltyouwillneverfeelthesameway again.”…
Technorati 2/12: Between a Rock and a Hot Place: Why Fifty Is Not the New Thirty by Tracey Jackson
Oh, we can tell ourselves that age is a state of mind or age is just a number (better kept unlisted), but the truth is that no matter how young-at-heart we are (or immature), our biological age is a major influence on how we live our lives…
I confess this review is overdue. As with many of the books that the lovely folks at Harper supply for my perusal, I am probably not in the target market for Between a Rock and a Hot Place: Why Fifty Is Not the New Thirty by Tracey Jackson. In many ways, it is aimed at the menopausal crowd and I’m a bit shy of that….
Bless Their Hearts Mom 2/4/11: Book Review: Between a Rock and a Hot Place by Tracey Jackson
With a comedy writer’s training and a screenwriter’s eye for detail, Jackson skewers the myth in Between a Rock and a Hot Place, a hilarious, bare-knuckled, and ultimately practical appraisal of what middle age…
