For the people who said Vera Wong didn’t read like her age, you might try this one.
This book does not shy away from the mental nor physical problems of age, but does it in a respectful yet lighthearted way.
I really enjoyed the topics that got touched on and also really enjoyed the mystery.
“The grandson” is my favourite!
