Honey and Leonard are in their seventies when they fall in love. Leonard is in the early stages of Alzheimer's and Honey thinks her love will cure him. This was a great book and I highly recommend reading this book.

This madcap, wildly improbable tale of two septuagenarian lovers who flee the authorities and escape to Paris and the French Riviera and become international celebrities was really fun to read. But it was more than that. Leonard has early-stage Alzheimer’s and the author does a masterful job of conveying the frustration, confusion and sadness of a man who knows the day is coming when he will no longer remember the great love of his life.

Recommended. Especially if you are over fifty.

This was such a beautiful story. It was a reminder that love is all important...through everything. It was an eye opener re: Alzheimer’s and all the effects.
Many thanks toBQB Publishing and to NetGalley for providing me with a galley in exchange for my honest opinion.

Oh my.... This was very very touching. A story of even during a difficult time. Felt so educated about alzheimer disease.

Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for the eARC copy

The story of Honey and Leonard was beautiful. It is a story of love and its importance on every level of life. The portrayal of the condition of Alzheimer's disease was very eye opening. I enjoyed reading this book.

I loved the idea of this book better than the actual thing. It sounds light hearted and fun and parts of it are but the writing style has too much telling and not enough showing. The ending is also, sadly, fairly depressing even as it does show the power of love. I wanted more romance but unfortunately got more reality.
