About to be 51 (in 19 days!) I thought this would be a good read - I wasn't wrong! Read on a 3 hour flight. It has something for all us ladies of a certain age (stupid phrase!) I laughed I cried I nodded I admired but most of all I thought. Thought about what am I going to do about it - it being my life. Not sure what the answer is but I will do something. I highly recommend this book to those approaching 50 or those already there. I also think it should be read by the husbands/ boyfriends/ partners of those women. Thanks for being so honest and sharing Jo

I loved this book, it's funny, brilliantly written and so relatable! A must read for anyone approaching or passing 50 ... it will lift your spirits by looking at the funny side to our changing lives, hormones and bodies and make you realise that there is a lot of positive stuff you can do with all your wisdom and knowledge that comes with age.

As soon as I saw the title of this book I knew that I was going to enjoy it and I wasn't wrong! It's not often that you come across a book which is a) written from the heart and b) makes you laugh out loud, nod your head in agreement and bring a tear to your eye. For anyone either side of the big 5-0, this is a great read to either devour all in one sitting or to dip into when you want to take a few minutes for yourself. Highly recommend this book.

I love these stories as does my 6 yr old. It's gorgeous work and can see it being very loved by both children and parents - so lovely to get back to nature - and stunning photography!

A lovely adventure that young children can relate to! I shared this book with my nephew who's two and a half...The photos are a lovely touch and the text rhymes which is also good for young readers.
