Please note: this series contains mature themes and listener discretion is advised.

Lu and her friends are all hitting 50 and have no intention of learning to knit. Feisty and fabulous, this foursome is determined to grow old disgracefully. Join them on their journey across the desert and across the years to their home town and a school reunion, in this audio drama from the international best-selling author of The Bride Stripped Bare.

As for Lu - recently divorced, living with three demanding kids, always awaiting promotion at work - well Lu really believes she's reached the age of invisibility. Love must be over for her. Or is it? Laughing, sometimes crying, ruthlessly honest and often downright filthy, Lu, Chip, Bianca and Flic share secrets while the desert roads turn treacherous....

I felt like I was back in Drama Class

The acting was terrible, the background noise and music was annoying and the dialogue was needlessly crass. No style, no wit and no comedy.

Good job it was a freebie

Very disappointing - cliched and cringe inducing. Would not recommend, even as a lightweight holiday read.
