The Old Girls’ Chateau Escape is a delightful story filled with cleverness, humor, and a touch of mystery. It explores themes of friendship and loyalty as Gina navigates Meredith’s memories while caring for her husband. Readers can look forward to being transported to the beautiful scenery of Provence, where humor, mystery, and some romantic moments come together.

If you’re a fan of women’s fiction or feel-good novels, you’ll find Kate Galley’s writing simple and easily understandable. The characters in the story are very natural, each character has its own tone and attitude. This is a fascinating aspect of the interaction between Gina and Dorothy and between Gina and Meredith. I highly recommend this book 😍

Thank you to Rachel’s Random Resources, NetGalley, and Boldwood Books for allowing me to read and review this book.

An adorable story of friendship that passes all ages. Combining a mystery with a good ole gals story kept you wondering till the end. Apparently there are more stories featuring Gina and Dorothy. Coming in late to book four has me excited to hunt the others down and find out what other trouble they have caused. Lovable characters, relatable problems and entertaining for many age groups. Don’t let the “Old Girls” scare you away fro a cute, easy read.

This was an uplifting novel about friendships, second chances and growing old. Meredith decides to write her memoir. When Dorothy finds out that Meredith is writing she sends Gina, her carer, to help be Meredith and Gerald’s carer. When Dorothy and Meredith were younger, they were best friends from the art world but have been estranged for decades. Dorothy wants Gina to spy and find out what Meredith is writing. She is worried that secrets in their past will be written.

Thank you to Boldwood Books and NetGalley for my copy.
