Overall, this was a sweet story about finding love a little bit later in life. I did feel like much of the story was the internal monologues of the main characters and not a lot of actual interaction between them. In the end, it seemed kind of unrealistic for them to get together so quickly and completely when they had hardly spent any actual time together.
