This is the tale of Dot and Mabel, two close friends during their youth but time and circumstances take them down different paths in life. Now they are both in their 80s and through Mabel’s determination they come together again. They are destined to be together for the rest of their lives.
But, it’s not just about Dot and Mabel. It’s about a close circle of their female friends, ranging in age from their 20s upwards. They are a support system for each other. They help each other reach goals and potentials, no matter what stage of life they are at.
This book is about second chances, finding love late in life and redemption. It’s about the acceptance. It also illustrates how people in the past were not allowed to be with someone they loved.
This is not a fast-paced book, nor are there any twists and turns. But, that’s not a bad thing, in fact, it’s to be expected considering the age of Dot and Mabel. It’s a sweet story that ambles along. It was cozy and a joy to read. My rating is 3.5 stars, upgraded to 4.
