2 posts | 3 read | 4 to read
The best days of your life might be still to come... When 73 year old Jen announces that she is going to marry Eddie, a man she met just a few months previously on a beach on Boxing Day, her four best friends from aqua aerobics are flabbergasted. The wedding is booked and, when the groom decides to have a stag trip to Las Vegas, the ladies arrange a hen party to beat all others -a week in the city of love, Paris. From misadventures at the Louvre, outrageous Parisian cabarets, to drinking champagne with a dashing millionaire at the casino, Paris lives up to all their hopes and dreams. But a week can change everything, and the women that come home have very different dreams from the ones who got on the plane just days ago. Funny, fearless and with a joie de vivre that reminds you to live every day like its your last.

Very different from anything I‘d normally read but this really did win me over! Five working class older women take a trip to Paris together and motivate each other to try and really be happy rather than settling for what they‘ve had all their lives. I got really invested in the characters and found it very sweet.

What a charming story about 5 best friends who are all in there 70s and decide to take a whirlwind trip to Paris together. I loved Rose‘s transformation but expected Pam‘s secret to be different. Della was sweet and I found myself rooting for Tess and Jen to make “the right” decision for their lives. Book #65 in 2021
