I love the premise of the story and the unique individuals that they plucky Ms. Lillian encounters but had hoped for something more.

A walk on New Year's Eve by 85 year old Lillian Boxfish turns into a walk through her remarkable life: her triumphs and her tragedies, her loves and losses, reminiscing on all she has been through and what has made her who she is today. I sincerely did not want this book to end. Lillian's story has experiences in it that many women today can relate to and I was completely charmed by the entire book.

3.5 stars

Lillian is a frustrating character but in spite of that (because of that?) this book does kind of smack.
