55-year-old Georgie Turner doesn't need a new man. Her daughter, aunt and sister are the most important people in her life (and the most infuriating). But it seems the older they get, the further apart they drift.
Georgie's never been a fan of her sister Bonnie's husband, so when she learns her brother-in-law has been up to no good, Georgie sees an opportunity to bring the women of her family back together. Along with her 21-year-old daughter and 80-year-old aunt, she packs Bonnie into the back of her car and they leave Liverpool to hide out on the coast of Sussex. With the help of some sun, sea and bottle or two of prosecco, this will be an adventure they'll never forget.
But could the right man find Georgie while she's stopping the wrong man finding her sister?
A gorgeously fun and uplifting novel, perfect for fans of The 100 Year Old Man and The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel.

I really enjoyed this book. It was a delight to read. This is the kind of book that makes you smile and laugh until your face aches. It would make an amazing movie. I can picture some well-known elderly actresses in starring roles. This book is fun, feisty and just sheer fun to read. The cover would imply this is a light-hearted romp and it is at times but it is also quite dark at times which I really didn't expect. The characters are a mixed bunch, some I loved and others I wanted to strangle. They were flawed, dysfunctional at times and totally real, even Nanny, who was the perfect characterisation of the moaning old witch you secretly adore. I really didn't expect to enjoy this book so much.
