This book was shockingly very cute, while also addressing many social issues, like narcissism and its effect on the elderly, small town racism/ethnocentrism, and American capitalism’s effect on small town Britain. But, predominantly, it was a beautiful slow burn romance between two elderly people despite society trying to keep them apart based on their race and class. Surprisingly good read—as I typically hate romances.
