About this listen

Three women.

One widowed.

One unmarried.

One almost divorced.

All aged 63, but not ready to give up on life!

Leaving behind the heartache, guilt and disappointment of their real lives, three friends decide that now they’re in their sixties, it’s time they finally did something for themselves!

Swapping Christmas turkeys and BBC reruns for crystal waters, white sandy beaches and smooth golden rum, Anne, Jane and Kath throw caution (and tradition) to the wind as they set sail on a luxury two-week Christmas cruise around the Caribbean.

Will the three friends find the comfort and joy they seek aboard the Diamond Star?

‘Fabulous to read…It’s about a girls’ weekend with characters in their 60s and determined to have a good time’ Woman & Home

it took me a little while to get into this audio book but i soon got into the lives of the characters and their personalities, i really enjoyed the story. As a new person to cruising I could relate to some parts of holidaying on a cruise ship also.

enjoyable listen

A reasonably harmless and pleasant read, although very repetitive in places and one major mistake in chapter 26, where Jane appears with her friends when she is not there! Unsure if this is a writing, editing or narrator error but should have been picked up by someone.

Ok holiday read with editing errors.
