This book had my.interest as soon as I realized the main characters where my.age q and not some twenty something. It was a slow burning love story of two individuals who meet in college and some fifty years get reacquainted.in an assisted living facility.

They decide to leave the facilitate when it is apparent that it is being upgraded but with the dining room in disarray. Noah suggest that he and Cassandra travel.to his rough cottage on Cape Cod. They are such a.mismatched couple but some.how their relationship blooms.

It gives hope to all.older readers who wish to find love.

I loved that the protagonists were old in a very believable way. Despite their age, they didn't feel old - which is how elderly people often feel inside. Noah and Cassandra knew each other back in college. Now they are in the same retirement community and both feeling less than satisfied with their situations. Cassandra has a car and Noah has a summer cabin - it's a spontaneous plan that gets them out of the rule bound community and back into adult life with all its choices and compromises. I liked the romance aspect - it is a hopeful take on the idea that you are never too old to not want connection and love.… (altro)

It's a cute book with recognizable costume dilemmas and a cute ending. I really love that when the character put on the costumes, a version of the costume would also appear beyond them. But the whole book was ruined for me by the culturally appropriative "costume", and slur, included in the book.

The book is made much better by skipping those couple of pages-which I would do if reading to anyone else-but it definitely ruined my read-through. This book is a little old but not that old.
