Thank you to Netgalley and Harper Collins for giving me the chance to preview this title before it’s available to the general public.

Terry, a housewife and empty nester, takes a birthday cake to her best friend’s, Iris, house only to discover Iris has left on a journey that ends with an appointment for assisted suicide. Iris suffers from multiple sclerosis (MS) and doesn’t want to endure what the disease has in store for her. But Terry can’t let Iris go through with her plan. Terry goes to the nursing home where her dad who has dementia lives to find out why they need to see her. Turns out it has vermin and needs to close for extermination. So, she grabs her dad and chases down Iris and the three of them go on a madcap adventure lasting six days.

What a thought-provoking plot that made me cheer on Terry and everything she did. Although not a thriller, I couldn’t wait to see what happened next. The three main characters were very dynamic and three-dimensional. The plot moves quickly and you get some snap shots of quirky characters in other countries.

I highly recommend this book to everyone. It’s not depressing in the least. I would love to read another book from this author.

Terry is sure foul play is at work when her best friend Iris Armstrong disappears, but that;s not the case. It would appear that Iris plans to fulfill her bucket list, before it’s too late. Terry, on the other hand, want to convince her friend that there is so much worth living for, so she joins Iris on her trip. And that trip will surprise both women about the beauty and joy that can be found in the most unexpected places
