Such a beautiful read

I love this book and these characters. It’s time to start working on creating my own Old Ducks Club.

The wonderful Ducks.

I enjoyed this wonderful story. The audio was great and I know everyone enjoyed listening to it.

Never a disappointment

Absolutely the best light, topic relevant novel. This is the 3rd I’ve read. I love Ms. Pleases writing style. Fresh, light & a fun escape. Keep up the good work!

Just the best!

Witty, heartwarming, poignant, story of friendship, forgiveness, and taking chances. Quote from the book: “Fear is temporary, regret is forever.”

Refreshing, funny, romantic, and inspiring

I loved the second book as much as the first, I look forward to the others! Thank you for writing, such a fun, friendship, romantic, inspiring, realistic book for women of maturity that we can relate to & yet younger can appreciate as much as us. I’ve already recommended your books to several of my friends.

As good as the first book, but more profound.

This book did not have as many laugh out loud moments as the first in the series. But it was just as enjoyable. The characters were like my old friends. There was some pretty funny stuff that happened and some quote-worthy dialog. I actually did a lot of thinking about my past as I read (you know I mean :"listened") about the old ducks pondering their pasts. There was some real wisdom in the book as well. This book can be read as light humorous fiction or taken a bit more meaningfully, if you desire. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

One reviewer said she did not like this compared to the first book. I almost didn't get the book because of that. But I am so glad I got it. I loved it!

Disappointed

I was excited to listen to this after enjoying the first book so much but sorry to say it fell flat. The first book had me laughing out loud quite a few times but this time I laughed maybe once. It was the same reader but the voices weren't as good as before and had lost their luster. I had to speed it up just to get through it.

A little disappointing

I loved the first book, Old Ducks’ Club, and would highly recommend that one. I was really looking forward to this book but it lacked the character’s personalities, great storyline, and location descriptions that the first one offered.
