A Touching Novel Perfect for Fans of Five Feet Apart or A Man Called Ove.

When Lenni, a dying 17-year-old girl, meets Margot, an 83-year-old woman awaiting heart surgery, at the art room of a Glasgow hospital, an unlikely friendship blooms. Together, they decide to make 100 paintings to celebrate the 100 years they have lived between them. Cronin's debut novel is heartwarming and sweet, playing on your emotions as it weaves between grief and joy, loss and love, and all the things that make up a life.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from Harper. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
