emotional funny hopeful inspiring lighthearted relaxing sad

5.0

A truly delightful read. This book has been in my TBR stack for ages and now I wish I had pulled it sooner to read. I was initially drawn to the cover when I saw it in a bookstore and it has superseded my expectations. The story centres on cranky old George who has lost his beloved wife Penny, one day he is getting mugged in the street when a young lady steps in to save him in more ways than one.  This fateful day leads to so many changes in George's life. Relatable, flawed characters, some with secrets and love to give. This book shows that family can be found in the most unlikely of circumstances and it's not always with people you are actually related to. The plot is woven into a poignant, heart-warming, endearing, hopeful and sometimes sad story that will remain with you long after you read the final page. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐#mercystreet #tessevans #tea_sipping_bookworm #goodreads #litsy #storygraph #amazonkindle #bookqueen #bookstagram
