Harold receives a letter from his old friend Queenie in which she tells him he’s dying of cancer. Harold decides to write her a letter, but on his way to the post, he decides to walk to her instead, a few weeks journey. During this time he reflects on his life and what he wishes he’d done better, from the relationship with his wife to his son.

This book was very reflective and cute. It had spots that had me slip away from the story for a moment, but picked up pace again a minute later. 

Definitely an emotional journey through the life of an older man who questions his choices. Very unique and I loved it!
