So Long, Chester Wheeler by Catherine Ryan Hyde
So Long, Chester Wheeler is an absolutely amazing book. I laughed till I had tears rolling down my face at the dialogue between Lewis and Chester, an unlikely pair of opposites. The banter is witty and hilarious. Someone special in your life will appreciate this book as a heartwarming Christmas gift. Don't miss it!
Synopsis:
Lewis Madigan, age twenty-four is a gay man seeking a new job. He reluctantly agrees to provide care for his terminal neighbor Chester Wheeler. Chester is an insufferable homophobe who never misses an opportunity to voice his opinions. Lewis reluctantly agrees to help Chester fulfill his last wish. The duo set off cross-county in a rust bucket Winnebago to see Chester's ex-wife whom he has not seen in thirty-two years. During the trip, the two develop an unexpected friendship that will leave a lasting imprint on the hearts of readers.
Everyone would love to have a Lewis Madigan in their lives. Smart, sensitive and loving, the main character is a joy to read about. Although Catherine Ryan Hyde is not a fan of writing sequels, I would adore reading one about Lewis. I highly recommend this delightful book. It is a joy from start to finish.
So Long, Chester Wheeler by Catherine Ryan Hyde is available on December 6th. (5⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐)
