I think that now I’m in my 30s, this tale of second chances and love blossoming in maturity really hits home for me. It’s pretty, it’s poignant, and it’s occasionally laugh-out-loud funny, so I can’t recommend it enough. 
One star deducted, however, for there being three separate Charles, which is too many Charleses.
