When I saw this book in The Works originally, I wasn't sure about it but due to their 3 for 2 deal- I ended up picking it up. I was pleasantly surprised, although I'm probably not the target audience, being in my late twenties. However, the five women are great, they all have their own personalities, and sometimes I forgot they were in their seventies.

The chapters floated between each of the five friends, so that as a reader, we could understand what their lives are like separately before they all come together for the trip. I think Pam is my favourite, the only person she wants in her life is her little dog Elvis.

As a dog owner, I can see why (although I have a wonderful partner and I'd never replace him with a four legged friend.)

I really enjoyed following the women on their hen party adventures. There were so many fun moments, personal growth, as well as drinking wine and just having a good time.

There's so much in this, and it's a fun time! There is elements of shock, but I feel some of the things that happen, need to happen in order for the characters to change- not a huge change, just a growth.

I actually really liked this book more than I thought I would.
