Two things I learned while reading this book:62 is the new bad boy, and 59 is not too old to get truly and thoroughly LAID for the first time!!! Or, as Tom would say…BANGED!Bev and Tom are not your typical romantic storybook couple, instead they are very much real and believable. Tom in many respects is socially unacceptable; he drinks and smokes too much, swears like a sailor, and is a cranky, surly man that wants nothing to do with his neighbors. But, for all his faults there is something incredibly sweet about him. Bev is a wallflower, prim and proper, set in her ways, methodical about everything she does. However, she's living right on the edge, you can feel her need to break away from the mundane, and she's practically begging to come out of her shell.  Bev challenges Tom to change aspects in his life and he gives it right back. His shock and awe tactics work, and she goes toe to toe with him, he pushes her, she pushes him and they fall right into each other's arms and then on top of each other! What ensues afterward are some awkward moments with their children, who happen to be married to each other, when they realize that their parents have been doing the horizontal mambo...it was hilarious! Even though they were somewhat uncomfortable with the situation, ultimately they just wanted their parents to be happy...it was very heartwarming and a pleasure to read.With Penny Watson's creative storytelling and unique brand humor, Apples Should Be Red is the ideal blend of witty fun, sensuality, passion and heart! This is a book is about living, enjoying life, not just existing. It shows that for older adults life can be fun, filled with love, and adventure.  Oh, and sex...let's not forget sex!
