Why did I start reading it?
I found this book on StoryGraph and added it to a prompt for my onboarding challenge there. I would totally read it otherwise anyway though, because it sounds hella cute (and so far it is, even though I’m really early in). I seem to really enjoy stories of 65+ year olds going on some kind of unexpected journey. I learned this with Jonas Jonasson as well. And hey — if you know of more, please let me know! 🥰
Words I’ve Learned:

Lines that linger
Harold felt he had never come across such simple certainty, and in such a young person; she made it sound obvious.
It surprised Harold how fast and angry cars seemed when you were not in one.
Life was very different when you walked through it.
I remember reading this years ago and really enjoying it, but I forgot a lot about it now and actually recently gave away the copy I found on my shelf (because I don’t think I was gonna reread it lol)! I love those lines you shared though. Hope you continue enjoying it 🙂

Thanks! Giving away books is such awin win. You make someone else happy, and also then have room for a new book 😎 I love the balance it gives to all characters. Even though they’re all a little unlikable at first, then you see more into them and they become human
