I thought this book was sweet.

It's part of a series, but I read it as a standalone and think I understood it just fine.

It follows a divorced, now aged, couple and they reunite after one of them restarts the connection.

Not much happens in the book, but the characters reflect on past experiences, reasons they didn't work out as a couple, and their personality flaws. They support each other and begin to understand each other's boundaries, interests, and limits more as they take a trip together.

One main character's husband is mentioned to have died. She talks about her experience handling his death and her grief throughout the book, but it is a reflection on the past. It's fairly mild. Both main characters have practiced infidelity. One of the main characters experiences panic attacks and the other doesn't really understand it.
