Magda is turning 70 and her best friend, Sara, is planning a road trip. Sara has planned most of Magda's birthdays, Magda the reluctant guest to her own parties. A road trip comes with emotional strings attached for Magda, but Sara dies before Magda's birthday. Grieving, Magda takes the trip anyway.
This book is underrated and under the radar - it's really a lovely story. As Magda travels across the country, she travels back in time to a pivotal moment in her childhood that defines her entire life moving forward, including her friendship with Sara. I listened on audio book and I think more books need older protagonists! I highly recommend this book.
