Loved it! Such a heartwarming and touching story. Loss and heartbreak bring together an unlikely friendship of two people most unlikely to have met, but help each other heal. Marcie Malone is struggling with her marriage, work and life in general. Her character is believable and relatable.  Herman Flint is dealing with his own loss and I love his grumpy character.  There were parts that made me laugh,  and parts that made me cry.  I want to have lunch at Tequila Mockingbird with Darla and "the boys". Cast of characters are lovable and well written. This book is perfect for those who love a good character story, a touch of suspense/mystery and just plain great story telling.
