The Runaway Wives
by

About the book...
‘We’re leaving. And there’s nothing either of you can do about it!’
When the surprise holiday Dee thinks her husband has booked for her sixtieth birthday weekend turns out to be yet another solo golfing break – it’s the last straw.
Meanwhile her best friend Babs’s other half has decided to move to Spain and is acting like he doesn’t need to consult anyone. Not even Babs!
Well, if their husbands think they can do what they want, so can their wives. So, with that thought, the two best friends leap into Dee’s trusty car and head for the seaside, and an adventure they’ll never forget.
Back home their furious husbands want them to return immediately. But – as they begin to enjoy their newfound freedom – will either of the runaway wives ever want to come back home again?
An absolutely hilarious, uplifting, escapist story, perfect for fans of Maddie Please, Judy Leigh and Dawn French.

O.M.G.
The beginning of this story had me all tied up.
As we're introduced to Dee and Babs, things aren't exactly looking up. Okay, well they THINK they are, but I've read enough stories to know better, and this is definitely a case of wishing I wasn't right. Poor Dee! That turkey bird of a husband ditching her like that and forgetting her birthday!! It's not like they just met for goodness sake! And then Babs, and her weaselly other half, and his later life crisis. I couldn't believe what he was proposing, let alone acting on! Talk about self-centered! Talk about a total a**hat! I mean their husbands deserved each other. I really wanted to smack them both on the back of the head and knock some sense into them. At least these ladies know how to take control of their lives back. At least these friends know that misery loves company. At least these besties know that the only way to get their lives back in alignment is to show their menfolk what they're missing...and maybe still will be missing if they enjoy their newfound freedom and control a bit more than they imagined.
A great way to kick off your reading weekend, and a fabulous pick for your reading group. These ladies have enough spunk and style to turn anyone's frown upside down, and remind us why "hoes before bros" is totally a thing. No matter what life throws at you, your best gal pals will always be there, so cultivating that relationship through thick and thin serves peace to the mind, and a smile to the heart.
