Publisher's summary

Brand-new from the USA Today best-selling author of The Old Girls' Network. It’s always a good time for a road trip....

When 82-year-old Lil decides to book herself, her 65-year-old daughter, Cassie, and her friend Maggie on a bus trip across Europe, she hopes for a little adventure to counteract the monotony of life.

Along with three members of the Salterley Tennis Club and the Jolly Weaver football team, whose ideas of a good time are rather different to Lil’s and strikingly at odds with each other’s, the merry band of travellers set out on their great adventure.

From moving moments on the beaches of Normandy, outrageous adventures in Amsterdam, to the beauty of Bruges and gastronomic delights of France, the holiday is just the tonic Lil, Maggie and Cassie needed.

And as the time approaches for them to head home, Lil makes an unexpected discovery - even in her advancing years, men are like buses - there isn’t one for ages then two come along at once. Is Lil ready to share her golden years, and can the ladies embrace the fresh starts that the trip has given them. Or is it just too late to change....

Judy Leigh is back with her trademark promise of laughter, happiness, friendship, and timeless lessons in how to live.

Good story, but that narrator….

I enjoyed the characters and their stories in this book. Each one had a distinct story and I wasn’t always able to guess where it was going! That said, i almost abandoned it because of the narrator. I actually worried about her at one point because her breaths between sentences sounded almost wheezy. Her voicing was very inconsistent - two young (adult) men often had the high, shrill voices of children. It was her Dutch accent that nearly sent me off, though. It sounded much more of a speech impediment rather than an accent. I liked the story enough to hang with it, though.

Not for me

I have loved a couple of Leigh's books, but could not get into this one.
