Many thanks to NetGalley, Park Row Books, and Dan Mooney for the opportunity to read his latest book - 4.5 stars!
This book seems like it could be depressing - Joel is in a nursing home where his wife died. He's depressed, tired of everyone telling him what to do and feeling like a prisoner, so he has decided to kill himself. Then he gets a new roommate, Frank, a retired soap opera star, whose flamboyant presence changes the nursing home atmosphere. These two unlikely friends become lifelines for each other. Along the way, they give life lessons to the other characters in this book as well as to the readers to keep the elderly's wishes in mind and to always treat them with respect.
A great read!
