Sassy & Sixty: Playing, partying & misbehaving

by Bernice Bloom

“Hilarious, heartwarming, and outrageously sassy — meet your new favourite heroine.”

Rosie Brown is sixty-something, fed up with creaky joints, and absolutely done with playing it safe.

One morning she gets out of bed and realises that every part of her body is making noises usually reserved for an orchestra tuning up. She catches her reflection and gasps — when did she start looking like her own grandmother?

But hold onto your dentures, folks, because Rosie's not going down without a fight.

On the brink of divorce, disillusioned, and desperately eyeing those comfy Clarks shoes, Rosie decides it's time to dust off her leopard print and channel her inner twenty-something.

What follows is a hilarious journey of self-rediscovery that'll have you laughing, crying, and cheering from the sidelines.

Watch Rosie trade her sensible slacks for sassy stilettos as she shimmies through dance classes, leaving a trail of shocked faces and dropped jaws in her wake. Will her ex-husband Derek's eyes pop out of his head when he sees the new Rosie? You bet your bingo wings they will!

The real fun begins when Rosie meets her new partners in crime — a gang of sixty-something troublemakers who prove that mischief has no age limit. From crashing singles mixers to staging senior citizen flash mobs, these golden girls are painting the town red... and maybe a few other colours they can't quite remember the names of.

Will Rosie find love again? Will she rediscover her zest for life? Or will she end up in a mobility scooter drag race down Main Street?

Sassy and Sixty is a heartwarming tale that proves it's never too late to rewrite your story — even if you need reading glasses to see the page.

✔ Laugh-out-loud humour and heartwarming friendship

✔ A feisty heroine who refuses to fade quietly

✔ Perfect for fans of The Golden Girls and feel-good women’s fiction

So grab your most outrageous hat, pour yourself a cheeky glass of sherry, and get ready to join Rosie on the adventure of a lifetime!

This book may cause spontaneous laughter, uncontrollable urges to tango, and a sudden desire to dazzle your walking stick. Reader discretion is advised!

This is the first book in a four-book series about fabulous 60-something women.

BOOK Sassy & Sixty (lots of drinking, dating, partying and misbehaving)
BOOK Sassy Sisterhood (they move in together...I mean - what could go wrong??)
BOOK Sassy Senoritas (yes, our crazy heroines head to Spain!)
BOOK Seasonal Sassiness (Christmas has never been quite this bonkers before)

I really hope you enjoy them.

I HAVE THE BEST, MOST LOVELY, LOYAL, SUPPORTIVE READERS IN THE WORLD.
Here are some of my reviews:

"I adored the various storylines, loved the quirky and captivating characters, and was beguiled by Ms. Bloom's colorful and highly amusing writing style. I am hopelessly addicted. More Fat Girl, please!"

"The book was just a delight to read. Every time I picked the book up I could guarantee that it was going to make me smile. The full-length novel was funny, this one was hilarious, and heart-breaking at the same time. I was completely and utterly hooked to the pages and didn't want the book to end."

"The last thing on earth I need is another addiction, but I fear I have acquired a new one for the cunningly amusing author Bernice Bloom and her wily Adorable Fat Girl series. Mary Brown is an adorable yet outrageous Queen-Sized trouble-magnet and party animal who manages to embroil herself in the oddest of quandaries."

"I can't recommend this book enough.
This series is fast becoming my favourite and I can't wait to see what's in-store next for Mary. I urge you to pick up these books, you won't be disappointed!"

"Cruise with an Adorable Fat Girl is just THE most heartwarming, funny and emotional read. It's great to have a more real life heroin

Reviews

[Gillian Kemp · Rating 2 out of 5]

I realised this was likely to be a bit cheesy, but it sounded like it might also be funny and inspiring. Well if this book was a pizza it would be a Quattro Formaggio with added parmesan. Cheese overload. And so unrealistic. All six friends could somehow always get together at the drop of a hat, just one text and there they all are at the door. The characters weren't inspiring as much as annoying eg all of them causing chaos and throwing things in a supermarket and giggling like naughty school girls. Then at the end they decide to all live together. Really? All six of them? Or is it seven? Or five as it says on another page, as the author couldn't seem to keep up with her own storyline. The twins are four years old at the beginning and three later on!
I've been generous with the two stars. I never not finish a book but speed read the last third.

Such a fun book. I couldn't put it down. It was a nice escape from my real world. I want to be sassy when I turn 60

[Jean E. Corbin · Rating 5 out of 5]

What A Fun Story!

A group of 60+ women who are all discovering what things life holds for them, and the antics.they take part in. Many times laughable, and sometimes serious. This is the story of Sassy&Sixty!!!
