Meet Phoebe, who’s 28, and Laney, Dot and Maggie, who are 68, 78, and none of your business. Together they’ll prove that age doesn’t matter when it comes to friendship, belonging and an unquenchable zest for life.
When Framlingham’s famously all-female retirement home goes co-ed, a war between the sexes is declared.
Stuck in the middle, chef Phoebe Stockton is desperate to help her friends plot to keep the community that means so much to them. It’s become her life raft, too. She finds comfort in her beloved career that might finally make her parents proud. But Phoebe’s darling Nick is lining up on the other side of the battle, and their relationship is suffering collateral damage.
The stakes couldn’t be higher. If the home’s owner can’t improve business by moving the men in, he’ll have to close down Friendship House.
The women aren’t about to let that happen.
My Review of The Not So Perfect Plan to Save Friendship House
Some of the very best books in this genre feature quirky characters and this was no exception. The only difference to many other chick lit novels, is that these characters were much older than you might normally expect. I absolutely loved that about this story and I’d love to see a spin off or two about these wonderful women.
As a huge lover of chick lit, this book fit perfectly into what I had imagined it would be. It is full of laughter, love and friendships. Exactly what the best chick lit books are. I wasn’t at all disappointed. In fact, the story had me hooked from the very beginning and I found it difficult to put down.
This is the second Lilly Bartlett novel I’ve read and reviewed and it certainly lived up to expectation. Highly recommended!
