I  quite enjoyed this heartfelt and delightful story! 

~ Jewish rep
~ magical realism
~ dual timelines
~ a 1920s pharmacy in Brooklyn neighborhood 
~ a 1980s retirement community in Florida
~ a second chance at love- at 80 years old! 

I selected this because I really liked her last book, The Matchmaker’s Gift. I liked this even more.

Such lovable characters and a sweet reminder that it’s never too late for life to surprise you.
