When Mary Jane, known to her friends as MJ, and Roxie decide to hold each other accountable for their unfinished projects, they realize that their community might enjoy the chance to spend time together while working on their own backlog of projects. The idea is a success, and the town finds itself finishing more projects together than they even imagined. In the process, more than just crafts come together.
This book was such a sweet change of pace. Based on a group of characters mostly of retirement age, it was enjoyable to get a glimpse into the lives and friendships of a demographic of folks not usually included in fiction. Seeing them interact within friendships, decades-long marriages, and as grandparents made for a rich story, and the characters were so real that I wept with them as their lives changed dramatically.
I give this book 4 stars. It's not a book I'll likely read again, but I would highly recommend it to readers looking for a slower-paced, character-rich story, or those in a later stage of life looking to connect with similar characters.

I received a digital copy of this book, via NetGalley, from the publisher, in exchange for my honest review.
