Maggie Piper is about to turn 39. She has a great set of friends, a good job in marketing at a law firm and a loving boyfriend, Doug- who happens to be a few years younger than her. Maggie is beginning to feel insecure about her age and her relationship. On a birthday dinner date Maggie decides that she needs a break from Doug, which quickly turns into a break-up. Now, single and less than a year from 40, Maggie has to try to figure out who she is and how she knows what true love is.
Maggie is a very real character. She is clumsy but fun and her favorite pastime is watching TV. Her journey from love lost to self-discovery is one many women could relate to. Maggie's friends and family add comedic relief and drama, I'm sure we all have an Aunt Helen in our lives that is blatantly honest and seems to bring up topics at the worst times. As I followed Maggie through her year until she turned 40, there was a great amount of insecurity about her ticking biological clock, the age itself and all of her friends and family members that were her age and married with kids. At some point, this became a little overwhelming to me, but as Maggie began to discover who she really is, there was a great relief. Overall, How Do You Know? is a contemporary, fun, journey of self-discovery that any woman could relate to.
