Heartwarming!

Algernon is ninety-seven years old and set in his ways. He follows a routine that he craves and makes the days go by. Algernon is also very lonely.

Anna is a fifteen-year-old who has recently been uprooted from her home. Her Mother’s boyfriend called off their relationship to pursue another. She and her mother, Helene, have nowhere to go…. or do they?

Algernon gets a call one day from his daughter, Helene. They have not spoken in years, and he has never met Anna. He agrees to take them in, and they will forever be changed by it.

Algernon and Anna slowly begin to find that they have more in common than they originally thought.

This was such an enjoyable book about starting over, finding your family, growth, love, and connection. I enjoyed every single character in this book. I also enjoyed reading both Anna’s and Algernon’s voices. This was such a great touch which provided insight into each’s thoughts and experiences. Beautifully written and told.

Beautifully told. If this book isn’t on your radar, it needs to be!
