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.

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.

This was a delightful read. Lenni's voice draws you in, and then her and Margot's story fits in so well.

If I could give this book a million stars, I would. I didn’t believe everyone who said it was going to break me. I should have.
