Cute as a Button!

Can love be found at any age? Maybe!

When Leena Cotton is forced to take a two month leave from her job, she has an idea. Her Grandmother Eileen Cotton lives in Hameligh-in-Harskdale and has always wanted to live in London, thus the two decide to switch lives, with Leena moving to Hamleigh and Eileen moving to London.

Sounds like an adventure of a lifetime right?

For Eileen Cotton it is. She suddenly finds herself looking for love on a dating website for the elderly and what she finds is a whole lot of fun. Eileen also finds herself living in Leena’s apartment, along with Leena’s flatmates - which is an experience like no other.

Leena, on the other hand, has to take care of all of Eileen’s “projects” in Hamleigh and none of Eileen’s friends are very accepting of her. Can she win them over while also trying to mend her relationship with her mum with whom she hasn’t been close, in over a year?

A heartwarming novel that will warm your soul in the sweetest of ways, the words I would use to describe this book are “adorably cute.”

In tough times, I recommend listening to the audiobook, as it made me smile and I think it will make you smile too! 3.5 Stars

A buddy listen with Kaceey!

Thank you to Libro.fm and Macmillan Audio for the alc.

Michael David (on hiatus) Great review, Susanne!


Bianca I hope I'll find it cute as well when I get to it. Terrific review.


Farrah Wonderful review Susanne!


Regina Great way to describe this audiobook! So glad you enjoyed it.


JanB I’ve been trying to get through the audio for a month. I don’t know why but it just doesn’t call to me when I put it aside even though I love the idea of it and the characters. Must be my mood. Anyway, great review Susanne!


Jayme I loved the audio! Made me smile too

So sorry Jan! I kind of get it. It took me a bit to get into it. Maybe 15 - 20% or so? Until the characters decided to switch places. I'm not sure that a person can find love at any age personally (being 46... LOL!) but it's a nice idea. :) I hope you end up getting into this one, it is sweet, if nothing else.
