The characters in this Milly Johnson are a bit older than the one I read before and it was closer to the previous stories which have interesting back stories and some unusual situations. The old friends meet up and go on holiday aspect is pretty cliched but they don't focus on their lost youth/regrets etc etc which is refreshing. i was a bit disappointed by the ending which was a bit tidy and cliched for me but I guess that works for a lot of readers. Overall i think the writing was clear and the characters fairly likeable
