I've no clue how this book ended up on my to-read list, but I'm fairly vexed with my past self for it. I think the concept was an interesting idea, but the execution was just phenomenally boring for me. 

I called time of death at 22% because I have other things in my life to bore me, and I don't usually go out of my way to do them.

Literally no notes, this is my perfect book. I laughed and cried. I love reading such a tender and beautiful account of older adults, such an underrepresented population especially in romance. Please, please give this one a try. Absolutely beautiful.
