Sometimes love comes when you least expect or want it.

Magnus Carlsen is determined to grow old disgracefully. At fifty-two, he doesn’t believe in keeping anything. Men, sofas, books—everything gets jettisoned, eventually. He’s divided his life into happy compartments. A successful trial lawyer, he spends his days lecturing jurors, exasperating judges, and striding arrogantly around courtrooms. He fills his nights with a parade of handsome young men who want to make him happy. Why date someone his own age to discuss back pain, retirement-planning, and corns, when he can date men who don’t care to discuss anything at all?

However, when one of these sunny young men shows an inclination for dramatic scenes, Magnus meets his new neighbour. And his whole world implodes.

Laurie Gentry is nearly the same age as Magnus, but that’s where the similarity ends. He’s messy and creative and nosy and mysterious. He’s everything that Magnus has spent a lifetime avoiding. So, why can’t he get Laurie out of his head?

Luckily, Laurie is only in London for the summer. Magnus can uncover Laurie’s mysteries and indulge their annoyingly hot attraction, and Laurie will be gone before complications arise. A few months isn’t long enough to lose his heart. Is it?

From bestselling author, Lily Morton comes a romantic comedy about two footloose older men and how one summer in London brings something quite beautifully unexpected into their lives.

My review:

Easily this book is one of my favorite this year, because it was simply perfect.

I loved the snark, oh how I loved that! Mags was hilarioius and Laurie is the perfect match for him. These two together, holy hell, there wasn't a boring scene or a page when I haven't laughed or was hot as hell! Gosh, the sexy times were so, so hot! 

Two men, both close to fifty. A barrister and an artist. One summer in London and a dog named Endof. This book is something I didn't know I needed in my life until now.

I loved reading this book and it's now one of my favorite from Lily Morton. It's beautiful, it's real and funny. Enjoyed from the first letter to the very last. 

Can't recommend it enough. Perfection.
