On the day of her sixtieth birthday, Josy refuses to blow out the candles on her cake. Her bags are packed. She’s come to a decision: she’s going to win back her freedom by taking off in her old Volkswagen minibus! Even if it means leaving behind her husband and family. In a state of shock, they all blame her for making such a selfish move. But is it really so selfish to listen to that little voice deep within? Josy soon finds support among new friends who have faced similar scorn and incomprehension from family and society… But will that be enough to stop her from leaving once more? Perhaps a newfound love can help her find her way…
I received a copy of this on Netgalley from the publisher Europe Books in return for an honest review.
Josy realises on her 60th birthday that she isn’t where she wants to be, so packs a bag and leaves everything else’s (and everyone) behind.
I really liked this graphic novel. I felt for Josy so much throughout the story. It’s such a lovely story of finding out who you really are, and I’m so glad Josy took the plunge and left. She meets some lovely people along the way, and I just wanted her to be who she wanted to be. I don’t want to say any more and ruin the story, but please give it a go.
