Description
It's time to hang up your handbag and dance around your glitterball.
Ex-model Valerie never imagined that her short marriage to leather-clad wildman Jack Valentine would herald the end of her life. Now she's fed up with being propositioned by playboys and longs for a safe, suburban husband who will look after her. Record producer Sinead has an appetite for 'scruffy pop totty'. She knows that they are never, on paper, an ideal solution, but she's never been able to relinquish her natural desires for a safe, settled, middle-aged man in a suit. Magazine editor Karin is the author of 'Ireland's Most Eligible Bachelor' list so, in theory, she should get first dibs at the pickings. Trouble is, she knows they are lean and include a flicky-haired Australian TV presenter and a business man with a penchant for golf-wear and creative combovers. When all three women are challenged for find a man to marry before they all turn forty in the summer, they realise the time has come to hang up their handbags and cut to the chase...
