“A fun romp, great to see female friendships over time. Giving this one as a gift to all my friends. Loved seeing that life can be difficult and messy, yet we can still keep our sense of humor about all of it. Hope to hear more from these bold, joyful women.

Three cheers to Jan Atkinson! How often does one find a book where the heroines are fun, funny, sexy and fifty-something? I finished the book in one sitting and couldn’t stop smiling!
