The BRAND NEW hilarious, uplifting book, full of friendship and fun - from BESTSELLER Maddie Please

A one way ticket to misadventure!

When Lizzie Stevens was eighteen, life took a wrong turn. While her best friends Harriet and Anna went interrailing across Europe, Lizzie stayed behind—shunted into a dusty bank job and a sensible life that never quite got back on track.

Now sixty-four, freshly divorced from terminally dull Freddie and wondering how she ended up here, Lizzie is unexpectedly reunited with the friends who left her behind. This time, she's not missing the train.

Their plan? A gloriously reckless rail adventure across Europe. The women are older, allegedly wiser, and considerably less flexible—but their bags are packed and they're ready to depart.

Yet once the train pulls out of Worcester, it's clear this journey won't be smooth. Old secrets derail fond memories, Harriet and Anna barely tolerate each other, and Lizzie discovers the trip she idolised for decades wasn't quite first-class.

As they rattle from city to city - Paris to Venice before embarking on a cruise along the Croatian coast - the old girls are fuelled by laughter and questionable decisions. And Lizzie begins to realise it's never too late to change direction—and that the best adventures are the ones without a timetable.

All aboard for another hilarious and heartwarming adventure with bestselling author Maddie Please

Another lovely book from Maddie.
I love the way she develops the characters and you really enjoy their journey. It’s like eavesdropping on a conversation with old friends.

Gentle funny and entertaining

The idea of the story is great (apart from the unnecessary romance). But why does the otherwise good narrator make Anna & Harriet speak in such ridiculous & soppy voices, these are almost unbearable to listen to 🙉
