ABOUT THIS BOOK 55-year-old Georgie Turner doesn’t need a new man. Her daughter, aunt and sister are the most important people in her life (and the most infuriating). But it seems the older they get, the further apart they drift. Georgie’s never been a fan of her sister Bonnie’s husband, so when she learns her brother-in-law has been up to no good, Georgie sees an opportunity to bring the women of her family back together. Along with her 21-year-old daughter and 80-year-old aunt, she packs Bonnie into the back of her car and they leave Liverpool to hide out on the coast of Sussex. With the help of some sun, sea and bottle or two of prosecco, this will be an adventure they’ll never forget. But could the right man find Georgie while she’s stopping the wrong man finding her sister? MY REVIEW THE AGE OF MISADVENTURE by Judy Leigh is a madcap adventure that made me laugh, made me tear up, and infuriated me at one point, but most of all it entertained me from start to finish. Georgie Turner has managed well on her own ever since her divorce and she doesn't need romance in her life. She has her own home, a successful business, and she adores the women in her life - her daughter Jade, her sister Bonnie, and her old Aunt Nan. But Jade is getting older and has fallen in love and wants Georgie to stop smothering her, Bonnie is a trophy wife to a crook, and Nan seems to be fading away before her eyes. When Bonnie's husband gets himself into trouble with a gangster and cheats on Bonnie again, Georgie sees the chance to whisk all of the people who matter the most to her away until the dust settles and Bonnie is no longer in danger, but things certainly do not always go to plan. But maybe these women will find their inner strength and forge a closer bond somewhere along the way. This book worked well for me and the characters were all unique and engaging although I have to say that Nan was by far my favourite - she made me laugh and she made me sad and there was never a dull moment with old Nan. Georgie is a more complicated character and there were times where I was completely on Jade's side and could see how overprotective Georgie could be, but I'm also a mum who would do anything to protect her kids so I could understand it a little too. Bonnie drove me nuts! There is plenty of ups and downs, twists and turns, which makes this story flow well from start to finish and I fully enjoyed THE AGE OF MISADVENTURE by Judy Leigh.
