This is my first Clare Pooley book and it definitely will not be my last. As a matter of fact, I have already added all her books to my wish list and picked up a couple to read! I don’t know how I haven’t heard about her before, but this book has put her on my radar for future releases!
I read every genre out there, but lean heavily towards historical fiction and fantasy, both of which tend to have darker topics discussed. So, every once in a while I need a break and am always actively looking for something light, something fun without being cheesy or full-on romance. This book hit every single check mark for me.
How to Age Disgracefully is cute, it’s funny, it includes a cast of characters who have their own baggage and deal with it in their own way, and when these people collide, it creates a great story of friendship, found family, and new beginnings. What makes it even better is that these senior citizens are full of sass and out to take care of themselves. Working as part of a team brings some learning curves none of them expect, especially Daphne, who might be one of my new favorite characters.
I suspect this book will remain in my top ten at the end of the year as it was such a fun read.
This book will be released June 2024
