Warning this book will make you cry. I honestly don’t know the last time a book made me cry this hard or this long. I had tears in my eyes for the final few chapters, it also made me laugh out loud at multiple points. 
I wouldn’t  have picked this book if not for my book club but god damn I’m glad I read it.

If the death of an infant, long thoughts about death/ the afterlife, and the death of beloved ones is too much for you, this is not your kind of book. If the topic of death in general is not your thing steer very clear of this book.

emotional funny sad

5.0

I listened to it as an audiobook and it was so nice to follow along the unusual friendship of the 17 year-old Lenni and the 83 year-old Margot. 
It's a wonderful story about friendship, love, a life well lived and death. The audiobook gave Lenni & Margot so much character it was very relaxing listening to the two readers. 
That story showed that there is no age limit for true friendship. Every character felt so special and made this book a perfect comfort read for me.
