Publisher's summary

The BRAND NEW hilarious novel from the #1 bestselling author, Maddie Please!

It’s never too late to sail a new course...

When retired Jill Parker wins an all-expenses paid mediterranean cruise for two she is thrilled! At 63 life in retirement has got a little bit bland for Jill and this might be just the holiday she and husband Eddy need to get the sparks back in their marriage.

But when Eddy admits he would much prefer to build his patio and look through the latest DIY magazine, Jill is left with only one other option – her sister Diana.

Diana has become rather reclusive since her husband, Caspar died, but perhaps this is the push she needs to bring some excitement back into her life, too?

Could this trip be just what both sisters need to reconnect and chart a new path for their futures?

Excited to be exploring new horizons and catching up, the sisters soon discover that not everything is smooth sailing on board. And as they enjoy cocktails together at sundown, they discover that they are both actually a little all at sea…

An uplifting and hilarious story about living life to the full and always, always having fun! Perfect for fans of Judy Leigh and Dee Macdonald

A bit boring but an okay light listen

The usual theme about living life to the full in your senior years, which I do enjoy. The narration was good and the ending was good. The rest of the book was a bit boring, drawn out, and without much substance.

Delightful Tale!

I absolutely loved this story of 2 sisters reconnecting on a Mediterranean cruise! Maddie Please gives me great hope that there is still fun and adventure in life after 60! All of her books are wonderful, the characters are vivid and entertaining, and Penelope Freeman is a fabulous narrator!

Another great story

I do enjoy the fun stories of retirement years, but more importantly the meaning behind them. They might be similar to the other five wonderful books, but yet you seem to amaze me with another interesting concept of siblings and the adventures that they experience with growth, wisdom, understanding and acceptance of each other and the people they meet along the journey. I’ve never been on a cruise, but this really does give you an idea of what it’s like, as I know others that have been on many. read beautifully story, wonderful, and the cruise definitely fun. I look forward to the next book I hope.

So Relatable!

Love that this author does books about women of a certain age. I find them so relatable. This story was no different. I thoroughly enjoyed it and all of the fun characters who were bought to life through the wonderful narration.
