About this listen

Three women celebrate their birthdays.... 30. 40. 50. But this milestone birthday marks the start of a year that will change everything....

Ginger isn't spending her 30th the way she would have planned. Tonight might be the first night of the rest of her life - or a total disaster.

Sam is finally pregnant after years of trying. When her waters break on the morning of her 40th birthday, she panics: forget labour, how is she going to be a mother? Callie is celebrating her 50th at a big party in her Dublin home. Then a knock at the door midparty changes everything....

The book was well performed but the story was fairly mundane and a bit silly. It was okay for light entertainment but I would not highly recommend it.

Loved the separate then combined lives in this book. It kept my attention but had to concentrate as to who the characters were during the chapters.

The narrator sounds like Tarryn Brumfitt which kinda ruined it a little for me. As I found it really distracting having recently listened to the book Embrace.
The parts about the neighbours Ian and Julie had me cracking up laughing.
Overall I liked the story and the narration was good.

Great story of pain and growth. Of overcoming the obstacles life throws at you with a new vigor and strength. I loved how it all tied together beautifully at the end.
