I was excited for this one because both of the leads are older. It was definitely what I would call a real story without fluff or a lot of drama. This can be good or bad. The story doesn't really go anywhere, but at the same time it is a more accurate portrayal of real life. There were several humorous moments - loved the cat names. The cover for the paperback is the same as that of the ebook/kindle editions. It was a solid read, but not one I'll likely read again and because it seemed to coast along without really pulling me in emotionally (no real ups or downs), I gave it a 3.
