This is a story of good friends who stick together through everything life throws at them. The characters were fun and daring, they had some humorous escapades. I love that these women all have different relatable struggles but are always there for each other.

Great read. The author wrote a story that was interesting and moved at a pace that kept me engaged. The characters were easy to invest in.

True life challenges, it reminds me of my group of friends. We laughed, cried and held each other thru life challenges.

Sadly this book did not hold my interest so I quit reading at 1/4 of the way. I just could not relate to any of the characters so i threw in the towel early. Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for advancing me this copy.

Did not finish. I loved the description of this book however it did not live up to expectation. I got to a quarter of the way in and unfortunately gave up.

Four older women engage in a series of humorous escapades. They are much bolder than younger women and throw caution to the wind. In the beginning, you find them climbing a ladder to get to the top of the old five and dime to save the building from demolition before a hearing about the destruction concludes. You will smile from the beginning and a few giggles may escape, as well. I really enjoyed reading this light-hearted book. You will too.

This book is about a group of friends wh have each other's back no matter what. Each one is at a different stage in life, and each one has to face the problems that come with life (being single and nearly forty for one, old-age parents for another). These women can always count on each other, and on their pets!
When, the "boyfriend" of one of them is accused of something he hasn't done, they all try to help as much as they can, doing whatever it takes.
At first, I liked the story, soem troubles seemed "logical", some others were real fiction. The "pets" chapters were funny enough, and they offered some extra information on what was going on. My only problem was that the book suddenly ended, and not in the way I would have wanted.
Thanks NetGalley and the publisher for my copy of this book.

This title caught my eye when I saw it. It's unfortunately true. Aging brings wrinkles and the best you can do is try to hide them. This story offers more truths about aging and it's very realistic if a bit sad in places. One lady's mother has cancer and is dying. One lady's boyfriend has been accused of molesting the boy next door. Getting older doesn't make life easier...

Boutique of Quality Books and Net Galley let me read this book for review (thank you). It has been published and you can get a copy now.

Imagine a group of older women climbing a ladder to get on the roof of an old building to save it from being demolished. Now imagine them coming down with the press present and journalists taking pictures. One of them gets a real good "bad" picture...

The women friends meet for lunch, have cocktail hours, and work together through personal issues as well as worldly issues.

The fun thing for me was that their dogs talk to each other and they try to tell the humans things. One lady is always picking the wrong men so her dog decides to take care of this one. She succeeds. You'll need to read it to see what she does.

Despite all the problems, the women keep a stiff upper lift and things turn out happily at the end. This story shows you that while things change in life as you grow older, you don't have to give up. You just make adjustments.

Okay, I admit it! When I first saw the photo, I loved it. It was the photo and the title that got me sold. I select it to read right away.

Oh, the cover, I'm trying to fine words for the that wonderful enchanting painting of three active elderly women who don't give a hoot dancing in the rain. If that was a snapshat of my friends and me, I'd frame it! There's something whimisical and endearing about this cover.
This book was hilarous. It made me think of The Golden Girls. I love all the characters! I sure hope to have a life like those friends who are loyal and true to each each depsite of their flaws.
I have never laughed so hard in a long time with a book. This book was for a light and feel good reading. The only problem I had was towards the last 1/4 part of the book. It seemed to drag on, less humour and I was NOT happy with the ending.
As for the rest of the book, it was easy to follow along and be part of the friends. LOVE the bantering between the friends.

I love how the author was able to convey that the older we get, we're still spunky, likely to get into trouble, have a life at that age. Life gets much interesting when we get older.
Oh! Oh! How could I forget? As a pet lover myself, there are pets involved, so be sure to tuned into your secret animal language when you read the book!

Because of the way the book was dragging towards the end and how it ended, I'm going to give it a high 3 3/4 stars.

I received this hilarous ARC from Boutique of Quality Books Publishing through Net Galley in exchange for my honest review. Thanks for the laughs!
