The Age of Misadventure
The Age of Misadventure | Judy Leigh
1 post | 2 read | 1 to read
The gloriously funny new novel about living life to the full, whatever your age, from the author of A Grand Old Time. 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? A gorgeously fun and uplifting novel, perfect for fans of The 100 Year Old Man and The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel.

What happens when you take three generations of women, criminal dealings, a football star, a handsome stranger and send them on a road trip / escape mission to the seaside? This...
Whilst it sounds thrilling, I felt that the characters were repetitive and, at times completely unlovable. Jade and Bonnie's constant bewailing starts to grate after a while. It just took too long to reach the conclusion, and the romance for Georgie seemed superficial.
