'Maddie Please's latest novel 'Sisters Behaving Badly' is a glorious romp that readers will adore. It's a story of quarrelsome siblings, second chances, a fabulous location and growing old disgracefully. Maddie's warmth and humour will put a smile on your face and leave you relishing Kitty and Jenny's hilarious adventures in a French farmhouse' Bestselling author Judy Leigh.

Sisters Kitty and Jenny haven't spoken since a very disappointing Carvery lunch. Kitty, sixty-two, thinks Jenny is turning grey. Jenny, sixty-six, thinks Kitty needs to grow up!

So when both sisters inherit a farmhouse in rural France, it gives them the perfect chance to heal the rift between them. Except the farmhouse is a wreck, the garden is terrorized by a flock of chickens, not to mention a donkey with a serious flatulence problem!

Kitty is determined to enjoy herself, especially when she meets gorgeous French builder, Leo. Ooh la - la! And Jenny finds the fully stocked wine cellar helps enormously with missing horrible husband Paul - hic!

And as the two sisters begin to repair their fragile friendship, they discover that being bad is actually very good for the soul.

Sisters Behaving Badly Is the latest book by Maddie Please and like the best selling Old Ducks Club is published by Boldwood Books. It is a story of how estranged sisters rekindle their friendship after many years apart. Love, humour and kindness and the unbreakable bond that sisters can share despite everything life throws in the way. Set in Brittany, we follow how the sisters cope with being together again.

These are uplifting, romantic comedies with a steep learning curve for her characters, reflecting the sometimes confusing experiences of today's women (and men) which can be challenging whatever your age.

Maddie likes the Bourne Trilogy, anything to do with Christmas, America, cruises and writing. In her spare time she likes watching American box-sets, thinking about holidays and drinking red wine.

Maddie is represented by DHH Literary agency with agent Broo Doherty.

The Summer of Second Chances Maddie's debut was published in July 2017 and was an Amazon best seller in the UK and Australia.

A Year of New Adventures followed in February 2018,

A transatlantic crossing on the wonderful Cunard ship QM2 led to Maddie’s third book Come Away With Me, published in August 2018.

Maddie's fourth book, The Mini-Break was published in May 2019

Excellent, excellent book!!

Reviewed in Australia on 6 February 2022

A thoroughly enjoyable book! Loved every minute of it! Everyone who reads this book will find a small piece of themself between the pages. It sent me back on a good journey into my past, and bought back memories that I could relate so easily to the story of Kitty and Jenny's relationship. It was a real happy ending book. The characters were perfect, they suited the story and blended in well. I loved the humour of the author, she had a knack of saying the right thing at the right time and some of the things Kitty said (and didn't say), cracked me up. If you want a good, wholesome, family story with a bit of spice thrown in, you will thoroughly enjoy the trials and tribulations of Kitty, Jenny. Leo and all the other characters in this book. Do not stand down wind of Hector the donkey while he is eating!!

Always Sister Love

This book was a pleasant surprise. I loved the characters, especially Kitty. I truly enjoyed the story from start to finish. And Hello Leo, might just need to move to France. Sisters fight (especially when others get involved), but at the end of the day, they come together and drink wine, laugh and love each other. PS I could hear Hector everytime he made a sound.

This book was lovely and hard to put down. So many similarities to my life and my sister. We still have a way to go but I now have hope.
A very realistic story that showed love and healing.

Lovely read

Reviewed in Australia on 14 March 2022

This is the second book I’ve read from this author and at the start of both books I wasn’t sure if I would enjoy them. I have to say that I loved this story even though I don’t have a sister. Love that it spoke of the things that can hold you back and that you can change your life at anytime if you have the courage. Although this book would be popular with a mature reader, I think it speaks to people of any age.

The love of sisters is never broken and at times we have our own opinions and don’t see eye to eye but our love never falters.

A great read and some good laugh out loud moments.

I throughly enjoyed it and will read more Maggie Please books.

I loved this book. You always know you have immersed yourself in a story and loved it when you reach that last page with some sadness as you know you will miss the story's characters, and with Sisters Behaving Badly this was definitely the case.

Loved this read and the very happy ending! It was a little journey in my imagination to living a life in France. Only wish I was able to speak a little o level French and have a long lost aunt who leaves a house in France to me and my sisters with a room full of original art and a stocked wine cellar! 🍷 🎨 🇫🇷

A wonderfully light hearted read.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 17 February 2022

The book description to this book as well as the gorgeous and colourful cover, totally had me sold on and I knew I had to read it. What an absolute joy to read!

Kitty and Jenny couldn’t be anymore different. Jenny is married with an adult son and very prim and proper. She seems to look down on her sister Kitty who is single and carefree. I warmed to Kitty as soon as we meet her and I knew things would never be dull with her around. Jenny took me a while longer to warm too.

The setting of the house in a rural part in France, even though in desperate need of some tlc, had me won over and I could see so many wonderful possibilities with this property. I wanted to pack my bags and jump on the next plane! As we get further into the story, I so enjoyed getting to know both sisters and seeing the wall that Jenny had built round herself, start to crumble.

There is so much to love about this book from the idyllic setting as well as the relationship between the two sisters. There are some colourful characters of which some come in the way of animals of which I never thought I would ever have a soft spot for chickens before but I do now!

Sisters Behaving Badly was a wonderfully light hearted read that whisked me away and transported me to rural France. It was both a fun and entertaining read with some genuinely funny moments. It was also sweet and endearing and was great to see these two sisters rediscovering who they are and what they really want from life. My first book by this author and I can’t wait to read more!

sweet autumn years rites of passage tale

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 21 November 2021

Verified Purchase

It’s never to late to start living the life you want for yourself to the fullest. That’s the tenet of the book.
The title is misleading. There isn’t the big reveal or rambunctious shenanigans you might expect from the title or any mysteries for us to solve.
The start is a little flat, like a ‘what I did on my Summer Holidays’ essay from a very articulate adolescent schoolgirl, but, it is worth persisting as it improves by the page.
It is like going out with an old friend and remembering why you liked spending time with them.
It’s nice to read a novel of hope and fresh starts for those of us facing our autumn years.

One of the rare books that made me laugh out loud.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 December 2021

I’m always wary of comments of laughing out loud but this book was so dry and funny. It was lovely that it was mature people and beautiful surroundings. It was a delight to read of the ups and downs , recriminations and solutions.
This book would make a fantastic T V series.
I hope there are other books to come from this talented author

A wonderful read

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 25 February 2022

A really fabulous read.
Kittie is very likeable and such fun, so different to Jenny. I was so wishing that Jenny would see her husband for what he really was, a controlling unpleasant man. I also wanted Leo and Kittie to get together and was delighted that it worked out for them
Reading this really made me want to go back to France, it’s been a while, the French way of life is captured so beautifully in the book and brought back memories of great holidays there.
Looking forward to reading more of Maddie’s books, they are uplifting and fun but we also feel we get to know the characters well.

Just what I needed

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 January 2022

I needed a book that was easy on the brain and light-hearted. Maddie delivered the perfect read for a dismal Christmas. I loved her descriptions of characters and French surrounds and felt very immersed in the story as though is stepped in amongst the characters. Beautifully told story.
