Third I've read by this author. He does not disappoint. Great story about second chances. If you are reading his books in order: readers will remember Britt-Marie as the "nag-bag" from My Grandmother Sends Her Regrets and Apologies. I did not read them in order.

Couldn't wait for my book club to discuss this one! An irreverent look at: age, sexuality, feminism and religion. A great read.
