Okay, I have to admit this won’t win a Pulitzer but it was fun and it delivered what it promised a funny story of women behaving badly. Dee and Babs take an unplanned trip to the seaside because they feel neglected by their husbands. Dee is turning sixty and her husband decides to take a golf trip. Babs is floored when her husband ups and decides to move to Spain, without asking her. It’s no wonder they take off. I would too.
I loved how this book focused on their friendship and how the ladies learned their self-worth. Women helping women is always a big deal to me and I love reading stories focusing on that, especially when it’s strong women who aren’t going to take it anymore. The character development was so great and they were true to life. I felt like I would be friends with these ladies.
Overall the book was funny and uplifting, a light, escapist story that provided plenty of giggles. So, If you’re looking for a read to whisk you away to the sunny seaside and offer a few hours of entertainment, this book is for you.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the Advance Readers Copy.
