How to Age Disgracefully by Clare Pooley

funny hopeful lighthearted medium-paced

5.0

If you love stories about the power of community, How To Age Disgracefully by Clare Pooley is a must-read. Five shining stars for this heartwarming, touching tale that celebrates the magic of unexpected friendships and the way people can truly change each other’s lives.⠀

At its core, this is a book about connection. Pooley weaves together the stories of an unlikely group of characters, each grappling with their own challenges, and shows how their lives intertwine in the most beautiful, transformative ways. It’s a reminder that sometimes, the people you least expect can bring out the best in you.⠀

The humour is light but effective, adding warmth to a story that’s filled with moments of genuine vulnerability and reflection. The characters feel so real, like old friends by the end of the book, and watching them grow together was nothing short of uplifting.⠀

This was the perfect start to my reading year—hopeful, heartfelt, and full of charm. If you’ve read this one, let’s chat! Or if you have any recommendations for other books about community and connection, drop them in the comments—I’d love to keep this reading vibe going.⠀
