I loved that the protagonists were old in a very believable way. Despite their age, they didn't feel old - which is how elderly people often feel inside. Noah and Cassandra knew each other back in college. Now they are in the same retirement community and both feeling less than satisfied with their situations. Cassandra has a car and Noah has a summer cabin - it's a spontaneous plan that gets them out of the rule bound community and back into adult life with all its choices and compromises. I liked the romance aspect - it is a hopeful take on the idea that you are never too old to not want connection and love.… (mere)
It's a cute book with recognizable costume dilemmas and a cute ending. I really love that when the character put on the costumes, a version of the costume would also appear beyond them. But the whole book was ruined for me by the culturally appropriative "costume", and slur, included in the book.
The book is made much better by skipping those couple of pages-which I would do if reading to anyone else-but it definitely ruined my read-through. This book is a little old but not that old.
