"What a lovely book! "
Tera B.
"I have been well and truly Eileened and I am so happy about it. This intertwined story of two Eileens is wholesome, funny, hopeful, a little spicy, and so charming. It was so lovely especially with the idea of the countryside as well as London and the power of a close knit village and even closer knit friends. I would recommend this book to anyone as well as any other Beth O’Leary book. Simply put, they are amazing. "

"I loved this book. Filled with laughter and grief. You wouldn’t think they would go together, but they do! A story about how life changes and you have to roll with it. Such great dynamics between the women. And some romance thrown in too!!"

"This was wonderful! I’m partial to stories featuring energetic elderly ladies since my grandmother is one, but this had much more to offer than just funny mishaps and unlikely romances. This story is about family, and how we cope at our worst moments. It highlights how we are stronger together than apart, and that we all need human connections to survive. I teared up several times thinking about the isolation those who are most vulnerable are right now must be feeling, and I hope we all can band together to remember and care for those individuals. This book is about community, and it’s something that we can cultivate even if we can’t be there in person, I loved this story and it’s the perfect sentiment I’m looking for in this time!<br/>"
