I really enjoyed this story about Maxine & Alex. My mum has Alzheimerโ€™s so it made it all the more real for me. Loved the characters. Thanks for the opportunity to read and review this book.

An old lady suffering from Alzheimer's , a young man suffering from depression, a shared car ride to Brussels and you are off to an epic humorous episode which entertains you on each and every page. Maxine the old lady with her panache to jumble up quotes, "You must steep things in perspective.โ€ & "No, I would remember that. I have the memory of an alligator.โ€, is simply the grandmother one needs in their life.
One of the books which I just couldn't put down and one which I wished would never end. Absolutely the book to pick up to get the happy thoughts in your mind and jump start your life with positive energy. Highly recommended.

I recieved a copy of this book via Netgalley for a honest review of the book.

This was an absolute delight to read, funny, heartwarming, emotional. The characters were so lovable, especially Maxine with her overly exaggerated mannerisms. The Prada shopping scene was pure class...think Pretty Woman soundtrack ๐ŸŽถ

A heartbroken Alex is on his way to Brussels, but first of all he has to pick up Max who's to be his car share partner. Meet Maxine, a ninety something on her way to Brussels to end her life. As their journey progresses, so does their friendship. The antics, escapades & banter between the new found friends was full of hilarity, charm & wit.

Many thanks to Netgalley for my ARC in return for my honest review.

Maxine and Alex meet on a car share app. Alex is driving to Brussels and Maxine needs to get to Brussels. After an initial mmisunderstanding they are on their way, but each has their own agenda that changes as the journey progresses. They are only together a short time, but make a big impact on each other. When it turns out everyone thinks Max has been kidknapped by Alex, it still doesn't stop them in their quest to get to Brussels - but will they meet their final destination.

A great read - but I would have liked more of an epilogue to see what happened for Alex.
