When four very different women meet by accident, they turn each other's lives upside down and change them forever. A deliciously funny tale about discovering life's way too short to give in to people's expectations . . .
Meet Faye, Alice, Marilyn and Shirley. Four strangers who are poles apart, but when they find themselves sharing their stories over double servings of dessert one night, there is an immediate connection. At last someone they can trust with their problems, hopes and dreams, from expanding waistlines, chocolate cake and sex (or lack of it!) to the other big questions of life.
All four have reached a crossroad where they have been made to feel over the hill and out of the race. But as the newly formed Hot Flash Club they decide that the time has come to use it or lose it. They vow to help each other out by going underground to put things right. Of course, interfering in anyone's life, however well intentioned, is bound to end in tears - and in this case some hilarious misunderstandings to boot.
Near disasters lead to new beginnings as the friendship that inspired the Hot Flash Club illuminates strengths they never knew they had, and solutions they never would have dreamed of alone. The four realise that they can have it all, for the first time in their lives. While what sags may never rise again, feeling fabulous has no expiry date - and, with a little help from her friends, a gal can always start over . . . and never, never give up what matters most.
