Best Friends
$9.99
A tender, witty, and deeply moving septuagenarian love story about two outsiders discovering that it is never too late to start over.
Set in the coastal Dublin suburbs, Best Friends follows June, a sharp-witted house cleaner and beekeeper, and Ray, a lonely public tennis court janitor. Both in their seventies, they have spent their lives feeling like they never quite fit in. When their paths cross, a routine companionship beautifully blossoms into a late-life romance filled with low-budget dates, local neighborhood walks, and a transformative trip to Venice. At under 200 pages, Andrew Meehan’s emotionally compact novel blends world-weary charm with sharp humor, making it an absolute must-read for fans of Elizabeth Strout's Olive Kitteridge and Kent Haruf's Our Souls at Night.
