"When I get old, I hope to have friends as awesome as these. This is an absolutely feel g********l. Naturally, our intrepid characters, wattles and all, undergo all sorts of trials, but it's the compassion and generosity they exhibit that endears the reader." -- Sam Sanders, via NetGalleyZany families, eccentric friends, and ne-er-do-well neighbors inhabit the labyrinthine lives of three women friends as they grapple with real world events in one "Golden Year."An unwelcome visit from local law enforcement, a younger friend's romantic chaos, and the death of a parent combine with daily mundanities---laundry, scones, and senior s*x---to create a walloping, raucous read.Opinionated pets---critics and alter egos---offer a rich counterpoint to the human dramas affecting their lives.Unfiltered and compelling, this entertaining s**o provides readers of all ages with a new and positive view of growing older.
