A very sweet story but also real and sad at the same time.

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!
