Uplifting, heartwarming and joyful. Restored my faith in humankind, it’s the perfect book to escape to in these troubled times. So funny, so moving, and so glad I read it. * Ruth Jones * Utterly hysterical and full of heart, with hugely loveable characters, a dialogue that had me in stitches and many profound moments. A totally wonderful, spirit-lifting read! * Helly Acton * A warm and uplifting story about making friends, smashing stereotypes and the importance of community - I loved it * Sarah Turner * Joyful, life-affirming and full of heart, How to Age Disgracefully is an absolute riot of a read, full of perfectly flawed characters who made me laugh, cry and cheer. . .you'll never look at a septuagenarian the same way again! * Freya Sampson * Funny, warm, wise and a total riot * Beth Morrey *
