Being close in age to the main characters in this book, I definitely could relate to their occasional age-related angst, and also to almost all of the issues brought forward during the course of the story. I also was a nurse for 31 years, and the feelings regarding her nursing job were stated so well. I was so happy to have the story end the way it did! I enjoyed Ms. Peter's' writing style, with the exception of conversational tone! A majority of the conversations seem a bit stilted, with the additional absence of the way one usually speaks, as for example,her usage of "cannot" for "can't" and did not/do not/will not for the way we normal folks would use didn't/don't/ and won't . Other than the stilted affect during conversations, the book was well written, kept my interest alive and provided a very interesting view of romance for those of us in our 60's. Due to the flat, stilted conversations, I gave the book 4 stars. I would definitely recommend it to friends and family; the sex scenes were neither vulgar nor too explicit and the few "bad words" were kept to a minimum and seemed to fit well into the context. Overall, an interesting read.
