Publisher's summary

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....

Critic reviews

"Giving a voice to women in their fifties who have been silenced by society." (The Daily Edition, Channel 10)

"A topic that many women can relate to." (The TODAY Show, Channel 7)

I loved this one!

So exactly what I did not know that I needed. A great time! Definitely recommend this for women 40 and up, there are just some thoughts that I didn't even have till I turned 40...this author captures that headspace perfectly.

One of the best audiobooks I've listened too!

Standing ovation! Production was on point. The actors and actresses were perfect for this book and the storyline kept me eager for more. A new fav.

What A Pleasant Surprise

Loved loved loved this audible original. I laughed out loud throughout! I'm ready to plan a road trip with my BFFs.

Invisible women's society

I very much enjoyed this performance which was more of a pod cast than a book. I related to so much in this story and I sure other women of a certain age will as well. Initially because of the way imthe story is performed I had a little trouble following it. I am so happy that I stuck with it; I was not disappointed and I could have continued listening...perhaps to a sequel?

Took a while to get into this, but worth it

I had a hard time with this book, because there were numerous protagonists, and it was hard to keep them straight. The similarity of some of the female voices added to this frustration. I nearly gave up, but must say that the characters were so real and likable that I persisted, and was rewarded in the end. I liked all the flaws and imperfections, and that these did not detract from the characters' mutual appreciation in the end.

Feels like you're watching a movie 🤗

This is my first encounter with this author's work and I'm beyond impressed! You can really feel the friendship between these women who are very relatable, no matter your age, race or socioeconomic status. Bottom line -- DOWNLOAD NOW 😂

Not for Your Average Reader!

This book was theatre! Disclaimer, I’m an American who loves Australian television/movies , I love theatre and I also love when my audio book is narrated by multiple people. I was expecting a frothy romp with maybe some poignant moments, but this book was windy like a river and took us into soul survival mode. This book may not be for the average reader who may proclaim “I couldn’t even get through the first chapter..” but, if you’ve travelled the world a bit, don’t mind an accent that isn’t yours and crave an adventure that starts with a toe dip and ends with that clutch of fingertips on the mountain.. this book is the surprise for you.

Different.......

Never have the words "This audiobook contains mature themes, and listener discretion is advised." ever been more true. This was like an Australian Sex and the City. They talked about anything and everything. I would love to listen to this again just to see how many times the F bomb is dropped.
This was different. It's like we were hiding in the closet listening in on someone's life. The kissing sounds were just a wee bit over the top. Let's not do that the next time we record one of these books. 😁
This is a hard review to write. i didn't really care for this book(?) at all at first. There just wasn't any substance to it. But then when they are all in the desert, it started getting interesting. I had to see how things turned out. I ended up thinking it was good. It just wasn't mind blowing.
I do recommend it though for a quick entertaining listen. I listened through Audible Escape.

Narrators: they all were great. Perfect for their own roles.

Loved it!

Great book, funny, suspense, love and friendship. I higly recommend it. A wonderful book.

outstanding performance

Loved it! it was my first audible, and I picked a good one. Well acted out by many actors in Australia. The only the better would be if it were a serue
