The One Hundred Years of Lenni and Margot by Marianne Cronin
5.0
I know I’m probably overrating this book with 5 stars but I just loved it and it’s a new favorite! I was drawn to these characters and wanted to be in the room with them. I don’t usually reread books and I can picture myself reading this again just for the laughs and the emotional connection I felt. Maybe I selected this one at a time I needed it, I’m not sure.
If you’re looking for something light and enjoyable, this may be a good choice. It was fun and entertaining, but still had substance. It is about a teenage girl who is terminally ill and she befriends a group of adults who become her makeshift but chosen family. It is about those connections and the joy she brings to them as well as the joy the reciprocate. There are a few heartbreaking moments but overall this is an uplifting and enjoyable novel.
