The Wilder Widows

By: Katherine Hastings

Narrated by: Pamela Dillman

Four widows. Four wishes. One wild adventure.

When Sylvie’s husband passed away, she’d barely hung her black dress back in the closet when three widows on Wilder Lane showed up on her doorstep. Who had time to properly mourn when an adventure spanning the globe awaited her?

After putting their own needs on the back burner to raise their families, Sylvie, Doris, Alice, and Marge struggle to find purpose now that their children are grown, and their husbands are gone. Loneliness pushes them together while they knit away the rest of their days. Then one night, a whiskey-filled pact catapults these ladies onto the adventure of a lifetime.

Each widow gets one wish, one wild adventure she’s dreamed of doing her whole life. With their wishes tucked away on notes inside their knitting basket, they pull them out, one at a time, vowing to do whatever it takes to help each other fulfill their wildest desires.

Hilarity ensues as these four diverse women stretch their boundaries to go where no widows have gone before. They stare death in the face, have cops hot on their tail, and shed away the responsibilities they’ve shouldered their whole lives. The Wilder Widows soon find out their lives aren’t over...in fact, in this second act, their lives are just beginning.

Funny

Listen to this twice in the last six months, I loved every minute of it! I’m hoping she writes another book soon. The characters are hilarious, love them all especially Doris and her Hootie adventures. Gives me hope for my future.

Hootie Hilarity

I came across this audible as I was just scanning a new listen. I'd never heard of the author but the details of the book intrigued me. I am SO glad I got this book. it was absolutely laugh out loud funny. and I give 5 stars to the narrator who brought each of the characters to life. I don't know how many times a busted out laughing . and the story is so precious. I hope the author brings these ladies back for a new book ...maybe a mystery to solve or something. I cannot recommend this book enough.

A Must Read

Absolutely love, love, loved this book! Highly recommend, as it will not disappoint - I promise!

Heartwarming + Down to Earth Comedy

Loved the performance of the readers! The characters were brought to life in a great display of hilariousness. I felt that the tougher Issues the ladies find themselves in seem to ring incredibly true to our American society at the moment. I love that this showcases how important friendships are, and that we do not have to be likeminded or enjoy the same things to be best of friends. I loved the fact they embraced their uniqueness. Enjoyed this book— really funny spots throughout mixed with some tough true-to-life issues.

This has been one of the best books I have listened to on Audible. The script was true to life and so funny. I totally enjoyed this book and wish I could find more like it. Thanks to Katherine Hastings, Pamela Dillman and Audible.

Laugh out loud funny!

The narrator did a wonderful job portraying every character. Laugh out loud funny. Listened to it with my recent HS graduate and she likes it just as much!

A good laugh

Enjoyed the escapades throughout the story. It made for a fun read and lots of laughs.

Fun

This story made me laugh out loud! Great story about friendship and following your dreams no matter your age.

I laughed until I cried

I absolutely loved this book. I laughed so hard that the tears ran down my face multiple times. Marge is hysterical especially when interacting with Alice. I was thrilled to learn there was a book 2. I am hoping there will be a book 3 as well.

So.Very.Funny!

This book is good, but what made it great was the narrator. She seamlessly moves from character to character, which are all very different people. The voices are spot on and full of personality.
I laughed and laughed. I am not sure that I would have enjoyed reading the book as much as I did listening to it. Bravo! Looking forward to Book 2.
