This month we read Forty Love by Jane Costello! We talk about why this midlife rom-com hit so close to home, from empty nesting and letting your kids go to rediscovering yourself and realizing it’s never too late to start something new. It was light, funny, hopeful, and exactly the kind of summer read we needed.
