I really loved the first half of this book, but after that I nearly DNF’d it. It starts out as a story about a senior woman trying to figure out the rest of her life after the loss of her husband and son. She meets some interesting folks and has a life changing, supernatural experience. But then it switches to a story about the woman and her new friends fighting an evil real estate mogul trying to build a new hotel. The ending was rushed and felt like a bad superhero vs. villain story.

I absolutely loved the way this book was written. Not only am I going on a magical journey with Grace, but it has so many beautiful descriptions of human life, connections, and grief. Many times I found myself reading a wonderfully written line and just taking a pause to exist in that thought. Such a unique read. I'd even consider reading this book again & again

Very short chapters which made the book go by very quickly. Very quirky topic but I very much enjoyed the underlying theme of grief and guilt.
