Review: Fun and rambling, not really romance

I enjoyed this story, and I especially enjoyed that it is quite a unique take on a romance (how many romances have you read about an 81-year-old lady whose obituary got printed a little early?). There is an element of romance and the main character / narrator is amusing in her ramblings, but don't expect laugh-out-loud hilarity or closure. The story ends right after her morning coffee, and we don't get to find out whether she accepts the marriage proposal that might be coming -- or even if he proposes! We don't even technically meet him, just get a few ramblings about him and how she's wondering if she sees him as a good friend or as more. So I think it's awfully borderline as a romance, but it was a rather fun story.
