Brooke Harris has a new fan right here!! This was my first time reading a novel by her, but I’m sure it won’t be my last. A bittersweet emotional novel that had me thinking about the characters even when I wasn’t reading.

Bea is a young mother to a four year old daughter. She dropped out of medical school and works as a hospital janitor, but their lifestyle is quite good because her boyfriend is a pilot and makes a decent wage. Bea is expecting a proposal and gets dumped instead. She finds herself a single mother, with no support struggling to find a home. A series of events leave the pair homeless forced to seek refuge in a hospital closet to sleep. Bea clearly has enough problems of her own, but she can’t help befriending an elderly man she sees sitting outside the hospital on a bench in the cold daily. His loneliness was palpable, while his zingers delivered the laughs. She and Malcolm begin an unlikely friendship that made my heart ❤️ smile!😊

This novel tackles hard themes, but manages to feel uplifting. My emotions were all over the place and I loved every minute of it!
