Cute, quick read. Some good silly conversation. Overall pretty predictable though.

I'm sorry to say I laughed through way more of this book that I had planned in this story of a widow rebuilding her life. Waxman writes like a kind-hearted, yet sardonic friend that you'd like to have,just don't puss her off. I heard she was I inspired to write this book after a fight with her husband-so her arc of widow was set after that!

A lovely story of second chances, family, new friends and gardening. I would love to be part of Lili’s gardening class!

A woman who has been white-knuckling it through life after the death of her husband some years ago begins to see how her life could have room for change and happiness when she is asked to take a gardening class for a work assignment.
