About this eBook
Haven't you heard? Sixty is the new forty. . .
Husbands may come and go but friends last forever
You’ll get by with a little help from your friends
Each month best friends Claudia, Sal, Ella and Laura meet for drinks, celebrating 45 years of friendship. They know each other and their lives inside out. Their dreams, ambitions, husbands, lovers, children, hopes, fears, the paths taken and not taken . . .
Sal has spent a lifetime building up a successful career but she hadn’t banked on the one thing she had no control over.
Claudia loves living in the city – the thought of the country sent shivers down her spine. But, as many women will know, other people’s needs always seem to come first . . .
Ella is ready to try something different. But she hadn’t bargained on a complete life change.
Laura has always trusted her husband, yet suddenly she isn’t so sure.
Life may not always be kind, but it has taught them one thing, it’s always better with friends. And maybe it’s time to kick off their flatties and have some fun . . .
‘Warm, clever, wise and extremely funny. Among its many virtues are creating lovable characters and insights that will strike a chord with everyone’ Daily Mail
‘Anyone who thinks sixty is when you swap stilettos for flats and designer gear for elasticated waists needs to read this funny feisty novel’ Daily Express

A good read particularly if you're getting on a bit and you can empathise with the characters! Characters drawn quite well and you're soon into their life stories. The ending isn't particularly strong however, which spoils the overall memory of the book.
