4.5 Stars
Dotty decided it was time her and her long time friends Nora
and Wilma needed a bit of adventure in their lives so she convinced the women
to book a trip to Africa with her. Little did they know that Lucas, Dotty’s new
friend is a con man and a drug Lord and they are about to have more of an
adventure than they bargained for!
I knew when I read the poetic prologue of this book I was
going to enjoy it. I call these types of books my ‘pink and fluffy’
reads…….. They are the escapes that
have me laughing out loud, groaning in horror and dabbing my eye with a tissue.
They are feel good books and brilliant to lighten any dark mood and make me
forget about real life for a while…. I don’t read them often enough!!
These women are spunky!!! It’s not often you hear phrases
like ‘Oh, Miss Negativity, he’ll phone.
I feel it in my vaginal passage.’ Or ‘Oh Bollocks’ from a 60 odd year old woman!!
I just couldn’t help but chuckle. The dialogue was so natural I could hear the
women speak and their sense of humour and sense of irony leapt off the page
just from the dialogue. They are certainly quirky Glamorous Grannies but I’d
rather not have the picture of the ‘grown out’ bikini wax in my mind ( thanx
for that one Miss Street!!!!) lol
This is a humorous book and is written in a way that is not
forced, the story line is irrelevant, it’s the Grannies antics and terminology
that make this such a great read. I would certainly recommend this to anyone
who a) needs a pick me up or b) just wants a damn good easy funny read and
doesn’t think sexy thoughts are only for the young!!
