Short and sweet. Some unbelievable parts and some heartwarming. Good summer reading.

I'm a little "meh" about this book. It was an ok read, and took me on the emotional journey that I was expecting. However, I don't think I ever forgave Miriam for keeping so much of herself a secret, and I can't quite forgive Arthur for never asking about her past.

A unique book well worth the read, but serious typos and bad grammar. 'These ones' was used twice, WHAT?!? I need to be an editor.

Lovely little cozy read about a man who realizes he still has lots to learn about himself, his late wife, and the world around him.

This was a book that I probably never would have picked up on my own. My aunt and I exchanged books and this happened to be in the pile. I have to say, I really enjoyed it. It was one of those books that you take to the beach and just fall into. The plot was interesting and there were some really funny moments scattered throughout the book. I would recommend it to others :)
