You will fall in love with the characters and be so sucked in by both the plot and each character's story. The plot itself is such a fun mystery that keeps on weaving and twisting until the very end to a satisfying reveal. There are some very human moments we get with each character that show the more vulnerable side of dealing with aging, illness and loss. I really enjoyed this book, it had me grinning and tearing up at moments.
