The People review at the front of the book was right. I laughed and I definitely cried.

This was such a heartwarming book and made me miss the sense of community I used to have in the suburbs back home. The chaos and love the various characters brought made me madly grin and the tragic moments of struggle and hardship made me feel somber.

It’s the reminder that you leave a mark on the lives of everyone you interact with, and no matter how small you think it is, it still matters and makes a difference.

Pulp fiction with heart. Well written but saccharine, with a predictable, two-dimensional though charming plot and characters. A Christmas movie on the 20th of December. No more, no less.

Such an efficient writer, made me care deeply about these characters in the first 50 pages. New fav author.

Really fell in love with this one. Being able to follow this grumpy old man around was such an enjoyable ride. From wanting to kill his self to be with his late wife to finding a lot of love keeping him here on Earth. Had me chuckling to myself and tearing up.
