Jules O’Brian is in her 50s and the “helpful” advice about what she shouldn’t be doing just keeps on coming. Whether it’s being advised what not to wear; being advised that you’re never too old and it’s never too late; being advised to use magic sticky tape to disguise droopy jowls, or being advised to join dating sites for people who are apparently hurtling towards death, Jules has had enough. Accompanied by (a life–sized cardboard cut–out of) Liz Hurley, and her trusty friend, Pinot, Jules O’Brian is on her own Middle Age Crusade to silence unsolicited advice.
