A feel good book about an eighty plus year old and a twenty plus woman finding friendship and helping each other. The story is about changes in life and how sometimes change can be positive or negative. Often with change it is good to have at least one constant to keep you grounded and in this case it was the community swimming pool. A place people went to reconnect and forgot about everyday problems. The book is about finding love and even in death keeping love alive. It is about a community coming together and supporting each other .Thanks netgalley,

The blending of two lonely souls, one young and the other older, was a delight to read. Kate, a reporter for a local newspaper has an assignment to write about the selling of the Lido, the swimming pool that is about to close and set to become a luxurious high-rise. Rosemary, the 86 year old women has sent a petition around in hopes of saving the pool, the one she has been going to throughout her life. Set in a neighborhood in London, the author writes so vividly you can almost see yourself there. This debut novel was such a perfect read, thoroughly enjoyable. Thanks to NetGalley for the opportunity to enjoy this novel in exchange for an honest review.
