Courtney Walsh writes a story that is both thought-provoking and inspiring. There is a romance that is included but it is a closed door/chaste for both women. The focus of this story is on the relationship between Kelsey and Georgina. Kelsey, 32, and Georgina, midlife, have an evolving new friendship that helps them each focus on their own personal growth. There is a blend of humour, emotion and reflection on life choices and regrets. 

There were moments when I laughed, was annoyed and was emotional right along with both women. And the ending was just perfect! 
There was one point that kept me from giving this story all 5 stars... the not-communicating trope is a no for me and there was almost a bit too much of this (but just a bit so I kept reading). 

I knew this was going to be a hit from the very first page when I actually laughed out loud at this:

"You're in the hospital." She smiles. "I'm Cecelia, and I'll be taking care of you."
Thanks to my parents, her name triggers an automatic Simon and Garfunkel response, and I find myself trying hard not to get down on my knees to beg her please to come home.

There is not enough books with the main character being over 40 so this was a big positive for me before I even started reading. I am over 50 and very much enjoy reading books where at least one main character is in my age group.

I was not aware until I had started reading this book that it was classified as christian. I probably would not have read if I had known that before hand. I do not like overly religious stories since I am not a religious person. This book is not that. There are a few references to religion but not enough to turn me off. So if you are like me, this book will not bother you.

I loved the Author's Note at the end. I believe many of us feel the same way, including me. I try to say "Yes" to as much as I can but still find I prefer my comfortable box way more.  

This was my first Courtney Walsh book but I am really looking forward to reading the next!
