Heartfelt and funny. I love how it showed that change is possible at any age and being old is fun as hell. Made me look forward to growing older with my friends!

This was such a lovely book to read 🥰 I needed something uplifting and hopeful and found this on a list of books labelled light-hearted reads; they weren’t wrong but they weren’t right either 🥲 Having to go and grapple with Carl’s death, Jalecia’s declining mental health and addiction, Poochie’s health challenges and so on were immensely difficult and not something I expected to read! However, in saying all that in the spoilers, I thoroughly enjoyed this book and loved seeing Lorentha and the others’ character development. I’ve started to see now that aging isn’t such a bad thing, and that it really isn’t all downhill from here! ✨ I would definitely recommend this!
