I was provided The Old Ducks Club by Maddie Please as an ARC through NetGalley in return for an honest review. All opinions are my own and thanks is extended to the author, publishers and NetGalley for allowing me to do so.
Sophia Gregory is fading away… Recently split from her married lover and about to turn sixty, Sophia doesn’t recognise the old woman staring back at her in the mirror. Where has her life gone so wrong? How has it come to this? A quiet holiday in beautiful Rhodes is the perfect chance for her to find herself again.
Until she meets the Old Ducks!
Bold and brash, Juliette, Kim and Anita are three friends who are determined not to grow old gracefully – and they are Sophia’s worse nightmare! But when Sophia is made an honorary member of The Old Ducks’ Club, she begins to discover a new side to life. Dancing and drinking till dawn Sophia starts to shake off her grey, drab old life and finds the fun side to 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 spread her wings again…It’s never too late to teach an Old Duck new tricks!
I found this book absolutely delightful to read.it was a heart-warming, feel good read that captivated my attention from start to finish. I found all of the characters engaging as was the setting of the story that’s lets the reader escape which is so important at the moment. I also loved that the main characters were women over 50 as that doesn’t happen in many novels.
Maddie Please is an amazing talent and I am definitely going to be on the look out for more of her work. A solid 4 stars.
