I liked this story but I feel like it's been done before. The no-nonsense octogenarian role has been played out and I don't think this stands out.

"The Autumn of Ruth Winters" is an absolute gem of a book! From the very first page, I felt a deep connection to Ruth, the protagonist. Growing up as an outsider, her struggle to find her place in the world resonates deeply. Now retired, Ruth seems to accept a lonely, repetitive life, but everything changes when her sister falls ill, her niece shares exciting news, and her long-lost school crush reaches out.

These unexpected events force Ruth to confront her past and reconnect with family and friends in a truly heartwarming way. Her journey of transformation and healing is beautifully portrayed, reminding us all that it's never too late to embrace change and seek a fabulous future.

This book had me laughing out loud and brought a few tears to my eyes as well. It’s a stunning second-chance story that beautifully captures the complexities of life and love. Highly recommend!
