TRIXI'S REVIEW:
"For those who believe that love is possible at any age." ~Liwen Ho
Okay, this story has SO much going for it:
1. It’s love found after the loss of a spouse
2. It’s a friends-to-more (though formed over the span of MANY years)
3. It’s later in life love (both Lottie and Trevor are in their 70’s)
Those reasons alone sparked my interest in the story. Unusual circumstances or unique characters always make me want to read the book, and this delivered a thousand-fold! Anything, and I do mean anything, written by the pen of Liwen Ho is an automatic must-read… I don’t care what troupe or genre it is. I know it’s going to be enjoyable, entertaining, full of characters to care about and a natural faith thread throughout.
I think the reason why my favorite trope in a book is friends-to-more is because my husband and I were the same. We created a strong (mostly long-distance) friendship that formed a steadfast foundation for a love discovered. So, I can understand Lottie’s need to not ruin her friendship with Trevor by confessing she’s loved him for years. He was absolutely clueless! Until she decided she was done waiting to travel the world, then he realized how much of his life was wrapped around Lottie an how much she would be missed once she was gone. It made him realize that over many years, his heart had turned to love after all! But convincing her would be the challenge—one he’s willing to accept!
Everything about this story was good and I enjoyed seeing Trevor and Lottie discover their feelings for one another deepened with a life-long friendship. Sweetly satisfying all around, and I just think these two were so cute together! If you like sweet love stories full of heart, laughter, characters that are like friends, faith and that happily-ever-after you’re looking for, then I highly recommend this book to you!
