Something to note is that the book focuses more on the little coffee shop and it’s two employees then the elderly characters. It’s not a bad thing but from the cover and description I thought there would be more focus on the elderly. Despite this I liked the story, it’s short and not overly sentimental. The humor was pretty good and the antics the main character Jack got up to was pretty funny. I was listening to the book at work, and the gym scene got me laughing. It is so easy to see that really happening to Jack.
The main character is not the most loveable person, but it was nice to see him grow over the course of the book. This selfishness was realistic and even the way he handles his father’s fraud issue is how most people react. It’s not a great way to react to an elder falling for a romance scam but the character does learn to be better from it.
What sets this book apart from other books of this type is that the people aren’t storybook good and all the issues the characters face are not miraculously solved by the end of the book. It’s a fun read with a good story.
