Short Review ~ Dear Henry, Love Edith by Becca Kinzer

 




About the Book

After a short and difficult marriage, recently widowed Edith Sherman has learned her lesson. Forget love. Forget marriage. She plans to fill her thirties with adventure. As she awaits the final paperwork for a humanitarian trip to South Africa, she accepts a short-term nursing position in a small Midwestern town. The last thing she needs is a handsome local catching her eye. How inconvenient is that?

Henry Hobbes isn't exactly thrilled to have Edith, who he assumes is an elderly widow, dumped on him as a houseguest for the summer. But he'd do almost anything for his niece, who is practically like a sister to him given how close they are in age. Especially since Edith will be working nights and Henry works most days. When he and Edith keep missing each other in person, they begin exchanging notes--short messages at first, then longer letters, sharing increasingly personal parts of their lives.

By the time Henry realizes his mistake--that Edith is actually the brown-eyed beauty he keeps bumping into around town--their hearts are so intertwined he hopes they never unravel. But with her departure date rapidly approaching, and Henry's roots firmly planted at home, Edith must ultimately decide if the adventure of her dreams is the one right in front of her.

  1. Hi! I enjoyed reading your review on this funny story! I also enjoyed it! I have two book recommendations for you, in case you haven't read these yet... The Words We Lost by Nicole Deese is a really good book. It's not a comedy at all, but one of those stories that lingers. AND... one that I had a chance to read an ARC, I don't think it's released yet, but is funny, The Happy Life of Isadora Bentley by Courtney Walsh.
    Happy Friday!

  2. This sounds a fun book to read, but I checked with Amazon and it is very expensive!

    1. I'm so sorry!!! I meant to reply sooner. I did see where it seems to cost quite a bit in your country. Maybe your library would consider buying a copy?
