This book pleasantly surprised me. Claire is widowed. David, her husband had passed away more than a year ago. After an unfortunate and unexpected event, Claire goes home and ends up putting on David’s favorite sports coat only to find something unexpected that leads her on a journey. This book was a little twisty in a good way and so full of feels I couldn’t resist from liking it. Clean, wholesome, later in life romance… what’s not to like about it.
