Yes, Please!

Listening to The Old Ducks’ Club, by Maddie Please, I felt as though I had gone on a carefree vacation to a Greek Isle, had an unexpectedly wonderful time with daring new friends, savored new flavors, had a chance to take stock of my life, and decide on some new directions to explore. I can’t wait for the next adventure!

What a wonderful feel-good book!

A perfectly charming book about putting one foot in front of the other when life throws difficulties your way. Making new friends, finding a new love, letting go of the past, forgiving yourself of failures, standing up for yourself, and seeing the future as a magical new beginning full of possibilities and adventures. Excellent narration.

Delightful story, heavy on the “light”.

When our news and life gets so very serious and heavy, pick up your device and listen to this story.

Delightful!

I liked the down to earth telling of this time in the character's life. I was smiling, laughing, and perhaps shed a tear or two.

Good story with 60-year-old protagonists

This is a solid read. Written with 60-year-old protagonists, author Maddie Please taps into what life is like for women of a certain age (something that I have found difficult to find as everything seems written with 20-30-year-old protagonists).

Sophia finds herself in Greece working through a breakup with her married boss when she meets and befriends three women on holiday. The four become fast friends and delve into the ups and downs of life at 60: a divorce, too-needy children, an inattentive husband, and, of course, Sophia navigating the feelings of sleeping with a married man. When Theo, a native Greek, enters the picture, Sophia's life takes another turn on her journey to finding herself.

The Old Ducks' Club is a bit slow, even sluggish at times, but there is something about the honest way that Please addresses each conflict. There is no titillation or working up to a crescendo, it is just problems addressed head-on. For example, the three friends speak openly and honestly about how they feel about Sophia's affair, and she addresses them without excuse. The same rings true when Kim discusses how her adult children have moved back in with her and are taking advantage. I enjoyed how Please shows maturity in her characters. They make mistakes and have come to an age where they acknowledge them without further drama.

This is not a life-altering read, but shines some refreshing light to life as a sexagenarian.
