Newly single at sixty, Elin Anderson decides it’s finally time for an adventure of her own. With her marriage to tedious Tom now officially over, Elin plans to visit the family she hasn’t seen in years. First stop: Australia!

But going home is harder than Elin thought. Everywhere she turns Elin sees brightness and colour, which only makes her own life seem even more drab and beige. How has she let herself fade away?

Determined to have some fun, Elin reluctantly agrees to join The Silver Surfers – a group of seniors who travel the coast, only caring about their next big adventure. Because life’s too short to watch the ocean when you could be making waves…

There’s only one catch – her road trip companion, Kit Pascoe. Kit is a man who doesn’t know the meaning of the word fun and makes it clear to Elin that this adventure will be subject to his own strict rules.

But with every new day, Elin slowly begins to rediscover who she really is. And she’s certain that rules are meant to be broken…aren’t they?

Oh I do love a book that features a road trip, and a road trip in a place I've never visited even better, 

I was totally alongside Elin as she and Kit return Aunt Maggie's campervan from Cairns to Sydney, taking in a lot of sights on the way, and learning a lot more about each other too. 

Elin has returned to Australia for the first time in many years, leaving behind her unpleasant ex-husband, and her needy grown up son.  

And she soon can;t work out why she has stayed away for so long,  And in hte processes rediscovers true self too. 

It's a really enjoyable romp around Australia, featuring characters in the prime of their life, having the times of their lives. It was a true joy to read. 

Thank you to Boldwood Books and Netgalley for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.
