โDee MacDonaldโs books are so heart-warming. They make you laugh-out-loud one minute, and then have you crying the next โฆ theyโre really emotional and tug at the heart strings but are fun, life-affirming reads !โ Stardust Book Reviews Tess and Orla have been best friends throughout most of their adult lives. So when life gave them lemons and their loved ones let them down, they pooled their resources and bought a dressmakers shop on the corner of Penny Lane. And theyโve been doing just fine ever since. But one day, while studying her tired eyes and shapeless figure in the mirror, sixty-two-year-old Tess realised that she doesnโt want her life to be just fine anymore. She wants it to be extraordinary . For as long as she can remember sheโs put everyone else first. Now she wants to rediscover herself โ and experience the kind of whirlwind adventure that will have the power make her smile when sheโs confined to the armchair of a retirement home. With the encouragement of fun-loving and quirky Orla, Tess joins an over-the-hill dating agency and the two friends book a singles cruise around the Mediterranean. And thatโs when their adventure of a lifetime really beginsโฆ A totally uplifting, heart-warming, hilarious page turner about embracing the moment, learning to love again and the joy of second chances. Perfect for fans of The Kicking the Bucket List and The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry .

An Enjoyable Light Read
The characters charming and the story lines are fun - elements of a great escape! I throughly enjoyed this book as a follow up to Deeโs Murder at the Loch.

Cute and easy read
This is a very simple, cute story and very easy to read. Itโs the sort of read that is just entertaining enough to relax your brain. The main character, Tess, is very likable and easy to relate to for middle age women. I would say if youโre looking for something mindless and easy to read, this is a book for you.

Something different
This would not have been my typical type of read, but I thoroughly enjoyed it.I couldn't wait to read what was going to happen next!Some of the British terms threw me off a bit, but it was still quite easy to relate to.If you "fancy" a sweet fun read, this is the one for you!

Easy read
Easy read but not as interesting or funny as hyped to be.

still waiting for the hilarious part oops it ended
Desperately looking for a good laugh. Unfortunately, this book was not the way to find it. The author was dutifully cranking out pages and then got bored and ended the whole thing and I canโt say I blame her at all. She could have just written the outline, made nice chapter and saidโฆthe end.

Never put it down till the end.
What a refreshing laugh and light hearted way of looking at the ins and outs of the older single lady. Brilliant read, looking forward to picking up more books from this author.
