'Celia tells a story with warmth and heart - you'll be rooting for her wonderfully vivid characters, and want them to be your friends too!' Fiona Gibson ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Vee is nervous about returning to the village of Willowbrook. Not only is Dragonfly Cottage – the house her late mum left her – in need of a total refurb, but the neighbours still remember Vee as a troublesome teen, even though she’s now in her fifties.

Luckily, Vee’s quickly swept up by the Saga Louts, three irrepressible women whose friendship, humour and zest for life prove impossible to resist. With Rick, the handsome local handyman who’s helping to renovate the cottage also at her side, Vee begins to feel like it’s never too late to start again.

When the group set off on a road trip to France, laughter, friendship and plenty of vin rouge are on the cards. But some surprising revelations are about to come out, too…

Can Vee finally come to terms with the past and seize her future with both hands?

An uplifting, warm and witty story of love and friendship for fans of Milly Johnson, Trisha Ashley and Maddie Please.
