I love how the characters are different from what is expected at their age. And their personalities should never have kept them together. This book is just a great story. Great character development. And the lovely ending. I was sad when it ended.

This book is a feel-good book. That’s not to say there aren’t any sad moments, but the whole story redefines that everyone can live a good life. You can learn to love even those who have a hard time expressing their love for you. I was reminded to live and love without resentment or regret.

I really like this story. I listened to it on a long car ride and I don’t want to turn it off. it’s bitter and sweet. I’m afraid Elisabeth Berg is done. That she won’t write another book. But she does, and it’s amazing. Thank you, Ms. Berg
