Publisher's summary

Sophia Gregory has lost her sparkle.... Recently single and about to turn 60, Sophia doesn’t recognise the old woman staring back at her in the mirror. How has life passed her by? A quiet holiday in beautiful Rhodes is the perfect chance for her to find herself.

Until she meets the Old Ducks!

Juliette, Kim and Anita are three friends who are determined not to grow old gracefully! Bold and brash, they are Sophia’s worse nightmare, until they make her an honorary member of The Old Ducks’ Club! Now dancing and drinking till dawn Sophia starts to shake off her stuffy old life and start living again!

And when she meets her gorgeous Greek neighbour, Theo, she thinks that maybe, if she’s just a little braver, she can learn to love again too....

It’s never too late to teach an Old Duck new tricks!

A rip-roaring, laugh out loud story about the importance of friendship and always, always having fun!

A much fun story line for the most part, I could picture the faces and voices and scenes the author painted so perfectly.
Totally enjoyed!

Delightful story, heavy on the “light”.

When our news and life gets so very serious and heavy, pick up your device and listen to this story.

Delightful!

I liked the down to earth telling of this time in the character's life. I was smiling, laughing, and perhaps shed a tear or two.

super cute!

This book is a mixture of "Little Old Lady who Broke All the Rules" and a love story. I can totally see this book as a cute BBC series or movie. It was a fun, light book for anyone

Sweet, fun, relaxing

Many of the reviews said it was laugh out loud funny. I did not find this to be the case, but I did find it to be some very enjoyable, light entertainment. Doesn't take a lot of brain power and certainly won't leave you on the edge of your seat but it was very sweet and the main characters are very likeable. It's not a waste of time or credits though I probably won't read the next in the series.

So much much friendship and romance, if you have ever been to Greece the author paints such a gorgeous and accurate portrait.

Delightful!

I loved the story! I love the characters! I loved the setting! I did not want it to end so was pleasantly surprised to find out there is a sequel.

Utter love ❤️

There wasn’t anything I didn’t love about this book. 😌
Although I wouldn’t recommend for anyone without a little life experience.

Humorous realism

A comedic romp with 4 very varied personalities turns into a realistic consideration on aging well.
