Best one yet

A great happy story. If you feel stuck read this one, you won’t be sorry. I would listen to it again

Knowing age is just a number.

I felt like I was on the ship with them. I kept wondering about the bar bill

A bit boring but an okay light listen

The usual theme about living life to the full in your senior years, which I do enjoy. The narration was good and the ending was good. The rest of the book was a bit boring, drawn out, and without much substance.

Another great story

I do enjoy the fun stories of retirement years, but more importantly the meaning behind them. They might be similar to the other five wonderful books, but yet you seem to amaze me with another interesting concept of siblings and the adventures that they experience with growth, wisdom, understanding and acceptance of each other and the people they meet along the journey. I’ve never been on a cruise, but this really does give you an idea of what it’s like, as I know others that have been on many. read beautifully story, wonderful, and the cruise definitely fun. I look forward to the next book I hope.

So Relatable!

Love that this author does books about women of a certain age. I find them so relatable. This story was no different. I thoroughly enjoyed it and all of the fun characters who were bought to life through the wonderful narration.

Delightful Tale!

I absolutely loved this story of 2 sisters reconnecting on a Mediterranean cruise! Maddie Please gives me great hope that there is still fun and adventure in life after 60! All of her books are wonderful, the characters are vivid and entertaining, and Penelope Freeman is a fabulous narrator!

Maddie doesn't disappoint

Like many of her other books, this story is filled with humor and relatable experiences. Any lovely way to escape from the daily routine. Can't wait for the next one.

Uplifting funny and amazing

Her stories are such a delight. She captures women, aging, friendship and going forward in life with great humor and reality.

2 best friends on holiday

Not at all what I was expecting. More like reading a friend’s diary on their trip abroad. Minimal romance, no heart pacing action or drama. Easy to listen to and fall asleep with rather than jolting yourself awake to hear what happens next! Just a reveal into two ordinary women who go on holiday together.
