One of Goodreads Top 25 Feel-Good and Escapist Books to Read in Quarantine as seen in USA Today
โ[A] funny, winning debut.โโPeople
โDelightfully quirky and endearingโฆan absolute pleasure to read!โโ#1ย New York Timesย bestselling author Emily Giffin
Meet Duffy, an old curmudgeon who lives in an assisted living home.
Meet Josie, a desperate young woman who climbs through his window.
Together, theyโre going to learn itโs never too lateโor too earlyโto change your ways.
For Duffy Sinclair, life boils down to one simple thing: maintaining his residence at the idyllic Centennial Assisted Living. Without it, heโs destined for the roach-infested nursing home down the roadโand after wasting the first eighty-eight years of his life, he refuses to waste away for the rest. So, he keeps his shenanigans to the bare minimum with the help of his straight-laced best friend and roommate, Carl Upton.
But when Carlโs granddaughter Josie climbs through their bedroom window with booze on her breath and a black eye, Duffyโs faced with trouble thatโs sticking around and hard to hideโfrom Centennialโs management and Josieโs toxic boyfriend. Before he knows it, heโs running a covert operation that includes hitchhiking and barhopping.
He might as well write himself a one-way ticket to the nursing homeโฆor the morgue. Yet Duffyโs all in. Because thanks to an unlikely friendship that becomes fast familyโhis life doesnโt boil down the same anymore. Not when he finally has a chance to leave a legacy.
In a funny, insightful, and life-affirming debut, Brooke Fossey delivers an unflinching look at growing old, living large, and loving big, as told by a wise-cracking man who didnโt see any of it coming.
