Summary

Three women celebrate their birthdays.... 30. 40. 50. But this milestone birthday marks the start of a year that will change everything....

Ginger isn't spending her 30th the way she would have planned. Tonight might be the first night of the rest of her life - or a total disaster.

Sam is finally pregnant after years of trying. When her waters break on the morning of her 40th birthday, she panics: forget labour, how is she going to be a mother? Callie is celebrating her 50th at a big party in her Dublin home. Then a knock at the door midparty changes everything....

Dull!

Was really disappointed with this book. Slow pace, unrealistic and cliched characters, minimal plot line. Such a shame!

Too simple a narrative for my taste I guess

I found the story very light and in parts patronising. It's limited and often stereotypical in the arc and resolution. A very simple narrative. I actually found it hard to finish because I was bored and it was a laborious task to get to the end. I think it would be suitable as a plane book or by the pool so if that's what you're looking for this is the one for you. just not my taste.

A slow burner for me

I had to go back to this audio book 2/3 times ... I don’t think it really needed all 3 characters and For me it felt like it took a long time to come together . I probably would have preferred it to have just stuck to either ginger or Cali’s story and expanded upon them as they were strong characters . I did finish it in the end and it did get better as it went on, this is just my personal opinion and I do not want to put anyone off trying this book as some of the reviewers are raving about it. I did however particularly enjoy the narration.

Wonderful!

A fantastic story of 3 strong women who don't realise how strong they really are. I absolutely loved it.

Easy listen

This is the kind of book that you can easily have in the background whilst you doing mundane tasks . I must say its a slow burner, not too punchy, but stll a good pace. I liked how relatable the women were despite being cliché. It still, however, leaves you feeling warm inside.

Unputdownable

If you start to listen to this book make sure you have plenty of time because you will have to finish it ASAP.
I loved this book and all its characters. I loved the lessons learned and the love and friendship that emerged. It was definitely my sort of book hope you will like it too.
