I loved this book sooo much!!! It’s so smart to explore a set of characters like this because there is a wealth of emotion and life to explore in old people that is overlooked. Osman’s writing is electric! The balance between whimsicality and emotional sincerity was really well done, though at times I found myself doubtful at the irreality of the comedic tone in balance with the actual story. I’m not a big mystery person, so I wouldn’t say I was on the edge of my seat at the central mystery, but what I came for I got. :)

I felt the concept was better than the execution. Very humorous!
