Publisher's Summary

Ruby has always been the generous mediator among her friends, family and colleagues, which is why they have all turned up to celebrate her 50th birthday. But after a few too many glasses of champers, Ruby's speech doesn't exactly go to plan. Instead of delivering the witty and warm words her guests are expecting, Ruby takes her moment in the spotlight to reveal what she really thinks of every one of them. She also accuses her husband, Harry, of having an affair and reads to the audience the evidence she found on his phone that very morning.

Saving the best till last, Ruby lambasts her calculating octogenarian mother for a lifetime of playing her three daughters against each other. It's blisteringly brutal. As the stunned gathering gawks at Ruby, the birthday girl concludes her bravura monologue with the throwaway comment that she has terminal cancer. She has cashed in her life savings and plans on taking her two sisters cruising until she dies. Courageous? Or ruthlessly selfish?

But, do they even want to go with her? And, was it her medical results she read?

What an awful book. Horrible characters, silly plot, absolutely woeful. I'm amazed Kathy put her name to it.

Funny & tragic- a modern day comic drama.

Lettes’ leaves no doubt that she’s a master of observation of middle-class contemporary pop culture for the over 50’s females particularly in this book. Her sharp wit is paralleled by her, at times, acid tongue in her efforts to both entertain & go for shock value. I was, for the most part, disappointed that the story & characters, particularly the protagonist Ruby, were so self centered & shallow in Lettes’ pursuit of cheap laughs. I hung in there, & into the second half, the story became more three dimensional and we saw Ruby grow. I was pleasantly satisfied by the end of the book. 3.5 stars from me.
