A beautiful tale of two dying women — one young and one old — and the moments of their lives that made them worth living. This is a story of friendship, love, desire, and curiosity. Margot and Lenni are such a lovable duo — and are phenomenal women on their own. I knew when I read the first page that this book was going to destroy me. It did not disappoint.
