challenging emotional funny hopeful reflective sad

5.0

The bittersweet evolution of a cantankerous curmudgeon, spurred by the new friendship with her young neighbor. The concept of the story presents an interesting juxtaposition — a typically morbid topic told from a different perspective — that somewhat reduces the shock factor. 

The narration of this audiobook was top notch. It was as if I was hearing from Eudora herself.

Definitely worth reading because it explores the process of aging and dying in a refreshingly straightforward way. The characters are a bit 2D sometimes and the plot a bit predictable/fanciful in spots.
