I love the title of this book by Sophy Burnham. For many, growing old is looked at as only a time of loss (of abilities, health, loved ones and more), but here is a book that offers a more nuanced perspective. I was engaged with this epistolary read from the very first sentences. There is so much humor, warmth and honest reflection to be found in these pages.

I suggest reading this title along with Judith Viorst’s Making the Best of What’s Left. Both are just terrific.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Andrews McMeel for this title. All opinions are my own.

I was hoping for this to be really profound and inspiring and it was just okay. I don't think the vast majority of the advice and wisdom was unique or something I hadn't heard before. Maybe it would be helpful to someone else.
