Lou Cairney's life has never been dull. But through twenty years of ups, downs and really bad hairstyles, Lou has had the best friends a woman could hope for in Lizzy and Ginger. Growing up together, they shared their dreams and their disasters, broken hearts and career crashes and they survived it all thanks to love, hope and a large dollop of humour. And cocktails. Lots of cocktails.
Until now.
Lou needs her friends more than ever because her past has just caught up with her in a shocking way.
This is story of three women whose friendship survives the decades... as the saying goes.. boyfriends come and go, but friends are forever.
Lou, Lizzy and Ginger have been through so much together so when their Friday nights become less frequent they decide on a weekend break in Glasgow for a good old fashioned girls weekend catch up.
Friday night was always girls night out and over the course of the weekend the women recall the ups and downs of the last 20 years.
I loved this hilarious, but sometimes sad story right from the first chapter. Never a dull moment with these 3 women. I envied the strength of their friendship and how they were always there for each other in times of need. Even in the saddest moments, and with their own problems, their support did not waiver.
I particularly liked the layout of the story that Shari Low used. On the weekend retreat each of the women would recall an event in their lives and then Lou would take up the narration of those events, back in time, to fill us in on the juicy details.
If you remember Wham, ever had a home perm, had to lay on the bed to zip up your jeans or sat O'levels you will love this nostalgic and oh, so accurate trip down memory lane to the late 80's. I did!
5 out of 5 for me!
