I expected more from this book. It received
so much hype and was supposed to be a great book club book. I don’t understand
the hype. It was an OK story about a 91 year old woman and a troubled teenager
that become friends once learning they were/are both orphans. That is original…NOT!
Most orphans no matter their age will connect on some level because they were
both orphans. There was no climax, nor unpredictability whatsoever. However, it
was a pleasant enough story and the audio was fantastic. I loved the Irish
accentJ I was hoping
for a little of something that just wasn’t there and don’t understand why it
would be a good, let alone great, book to discuss – unless the participants are
orphans themselves.
