Cozy and Delightful

Focusing on the relationships developed throughout life, young and old, and how bringing people together can change people. The focus on female characters and life as a woman felt very real, and Binchy adds it to her stories in ways that don't feel unplanned or added for shock.

This book feels like life, and a reminder that we don't know where life takes us, and that in the end, more often than not, things will be okay.

4/5 Recommended for readers who enjoy multiple POVs, a wide array of characters with different voices and outlooks on life, and cozy books that focus on people and the little things.
