Summary

The best days of your life might be still to come…

When 73 year old Jen announces that she is going to marry Eddie, a man she met just a few months previously on a beach on Boxing Day, her four best friends from aqua aerobics are flabbergasted.

The wedding is booked and, when the groom decides to have a stag trip to Las Vegas, the ladies arrange a hen party to beat all others -a week in the city of love, Paris.

From misadventures at the Louvre, outrageous Parisian cabarets, to drinking champagne with a dashing millionaire at the casino, Paris lives up to all their hopes and dreams. But a week can change everything, and the women that come home have very different dreams from the ones who got on the plane just days ago.

Funny, fearless and with a joie de vivre that reminds you to live every day like it’s your last. Judy Leigh has once again written the perfect feel-good novel for all fans of Cathy Hopkins, Dawn French and Fiona Gibson

Girls just want to have fun!

Great story suggesting that you are never too old to turn your life around. Beautifully read apart from a very dodgy Jamaican accent. A 'feel good' tale.

You are never old, so live life

Funny story of new friendships and about remembering that life is what you make of it, so get out there and live it. To also listen to your inner voice, if you think something is wrong, it probably is. Thoroughly enjoyable and I wished it had gone on longer.
