Newly single at sixty, Elin Anderson decides it’s finally time for an adventure of her own. With her marriage to tedious Tom now officially over, Elin plans to visit the family she hasn’t seen in years. First stop: Australia!
But going home is harder than Elin thought. Everywhere she turns Elin sees brightness and colour, which only makes her own life seem even more drab and beige. How has she let herself fade away?
Determined to have some fun, Elin reluctantly agrees to join The Silver Surfers – a group of seniors who travel the coast, only caring about their next big adventure. Because life’s too short to watch the ocean when you could be making waves…
There’s only one catch – her road trip companion, Kit Pascoe. Kit is a man who doesn’t know the meaning of the word fun and makes it clear to Elin that this adventure will be subject to his own strict rules.
But with every new day, Elin slowly begins to rediscover who she really is. And she’s certain that rules are meant to be broken…aren’t they?

My Review
When Elin’s divorce finalised, she determine to change who she was before. First thing was to make a trip back to Australia to see her sister and aunt and uncle. She has not been back since she got married. This is also to distance herself from her ex-husband, Tom who despite being married, has continued to disturb her life. While she was in Australia, she met Kit, the brother of her sister’s partner, who she met at the Airport. Due to an unforeseen accident, she have to go on a road trip with Kit to get to her aunt and uncle. Kit is a man who doesn’t know what is fun is and make it clear to her that this trip is not what he wanted.
This story is heartwarming about family reconciliation and relationship. All the characters in the book is likeable. Love Elin for her strong character despite of the failed marriage. Overall, this is fun read to me.
