Description

A BRAND NEW screamingly-funny story from bestselling author of The Old Gals' Bucket List, Karen King Perfect for fans of Dawn French, Maddie Please and Judy Leigh 💖🎉

'Aren't you a bit old to live in a house-share?'

When Nancy's husband disappears to 'find himself' on a worldwide tour, just before he's due to retire, she's devastated to find he's left her penniless.

She has the house though... and so she does the only thing she can. She finds lodgers. Her sister Val thinks it's a mad idea, but Nancy's sure it'll be fine, as long as she doesn't have anyone young and chaotic, so she selects three lodgers of similar age to her.

But she soon realises that life model Jackie, fortune teller Phyllis, and ageing rocker Marvin might be a more crazy group than teenagers would be. What's more... they're determined to help Nancy find her own wild side!

Don't miss this hilarious, uplifting story about how it's never too late to find the fun in life

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
