Entertaining Book

Delightful story and characters. Fun situations for a woman learning to date online and serious situations for her dealing with her elderly mother who is showing signs of dementia, along with searching for a new career after a life in the air. Enjoyable!

Cute coming of age story

After a career ending happening, Jen has to learn modern dating by pressure, to join dating apps. With too much time on her hands, Jen takes up running, and experiences the ‘dating’ of modern seniors. Very cute reading. Made me feel thankful that I am not in her position.
