Old Girls on Deck (by Maddie Please)

I have grown to love British literature and Maddie Please books always bring a smile to my face while reading them. I enjoy reading about older women ... 60-year-old women ... who are finding life is still worth living and there are adventures to be had. This was a delightful read as you travel with Jill and Diana on their cruise (which Jill won) and as they discover more about themselves and what they hope to experience in the coming years. It was refreshing to visualize that we women in our 60s can hope to live life to its fullest for years to come with love, family, friendships, and adventures.

 

I think a Maddie Please book can be summed up with this statement which is a direct quote from Old Girls on Deck: the world is full of kind people. They just don't make it into the news. And exciting and outrageous things can happen at any time.

 

As I read the last word and close the book, I release a sigh knowing that I have had a wonderful time living life on a cruise ship with Jill and Diana with lots of laughter sprinkled through the pages.
