Summary
Brand new from the #1 bestselling author of The Old Ducks' Club.
Divorced and on a deadline, bestselling novelist Bea Pinkerton has a serious case of writer's block. With her agent breathing down her neck, Bea will do ANYTHING to avoid writing another word.
So an invite to a reunion with her old school friends at a beautiful chateau in France is Bea’s perfect chance to escape. Surely here, relaxing with old friends and drinking cold fizz, Bea will find inspiration?
But as soon as Bea arrives, she realises this is not going to be the peaceful getaway she anticipated. Her old school friends Gin and Audrie are in various states of marital distress and to top it off a camera crew has arrived to film the goings on at Chateau De St Cyr. Far from being calm, the trip is total chaos!
Thank goodness for Bea's new French neighbour Laurent Sinclair—handsome, charming and perhaps exactly the romantic muse she needs to get her mojo back.
But is Bea brave enough to take a second chance at love at her age?
Perhaps with a little help from her friends...
Escape to the Chateau for another laugh-out-loud feel-good adventure with the #1 bestselling author of The Old Ducks' Club!

just what was needed.
I'm a big fan of The Old Ducks Club. My only child went off to university last weekend and I needed a gentle humorous listen similar to that (horror is my usual genre but couldn't face any).
I downloaded this after remembering how great The Old Ducks Club was. It didn't disappoint.
Wonderful characters. Genuinely funny moments. Yes a little predictable, but just lovely.
I love that the characters are middle aged and still demonstrate there's still fun to be had.
Thank you Maddie Please, you helped me on a difficult time in my life.

Very enjoyable
I this is the third Maddie Please book I’ve read. I enjoyed the change of the main character to an author and the little hints toward other stories. I found the inner monologues extremely amusing. It might be easier to catch on if you were reading it, but they accent the character’s humor.

I’m torn…
I’m a bit on the fence with this one. I enjoyed the story very much. This author can always make me laugh and I do love her characters. The trouble happens with the main character’s inner monologues. They drag on and often stall the story. My advice - be patient. She’ll get back to the action eventually and it will be enjoyable again!

Repetitive and shallow
Ended up returning this one after a few chapters in because I couldn't take it anymore. The characters seemed silly and shallow, and the main character seemed to have the same conversations with herself over and over. This was all punctuated with a few really good descriptions and funny lines, but that wasn't enough to carry it. The narrator did a nice job of bouncing between different accents. Not sure whether this one would pass the Bechdel test, but maybe it gets better for anyone who sticks it out.
