How to be a Rich Old Lady by Amand Holden

Forget retirement planning that reads like a tax document. Amanda Holden — yes, that Amanda Holden, of Britain’s Got Talent fame — has written the wittiest, warmest, most refreshingly honest guide to growing older with style, sass, and a serious zest for life.

How to be a Rich Old Lady isn’t about stuffing your mattress with cash. It’s about getting rich in the ways that truly count: rich in laughter, friendships, adventures, confidence, and self-belief. Amanda blends candid memoir with cheeky life lessons, dishing out hard-won wisdom on everything from family and friendship to fashion, fitness, finding your voice, and refusing to fade into the background just because the calendar says you should.

Reviewers have called it “genuinely funny and full of heart” — a book that reads like an afternoon spent with a best friend who happens to have very good stories. It’s part pep talk, part dishy gossip, part rallying cry for women who plan on being absolutely magnificent at every age.

Curl up with this one on a rainy Ogunquit afternoon. Bring a cup of tea. Maybe a biscuit. Definitely a highlighter — you’ll want to underline the bits you’ll text to your girlfriends later.

This is the perfect pick-me-up for:

• Anyone celebrating a milestone birthday
• The woman in your life who deserves a little fizz
• Mother’s Day, galentines, or “just because” gifting
• Readers who love memoirs with personality and punch

Funny, fierce, and full of life. Come grab a copy and meet your new favorite mentor.
