Description

Sometimes love comes when you least expect or want it.

Magnus Carlsen is determined to grow old disgracefully. At 52, 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 neighbor. 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 best-selling 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.

Definitely unexpected

This was beautiful, but not unexpected by Lily Morton or narrator Joel Leslie for that matter.

Magnus is a bit pompous. He’s smart and respected, and he knows it. But damn he is endearing all the same. And his ‘meet-cute’ with Laurie was downright amazing.

They both give as good as they get, and it made for a hilarious but also sweet neighbours to friends to lovers story. Seemingly opposites, or at least opposites of the usual lovers Magnus, in particular, takes on, they are exactly what the other needs.

This couple was absolutely fantastic, full of humour and intelligence. Not to mention adventures around London, 80s nostalgia, and the magic of a mixtape. Mags and Laurie will forever be couple goals. And I totally wish they were real.

Joel really is a master at portraying the characters he narrates. It’s not just his ability with voices or accents, but with truly capturing who the character is.

Beautifully Unexpected

Loved reading the ebook and loved the audible version narrated by Joel Leslie. Joel Leslie did a wonderful job with the voices of the many characters.

The story is so romantic and comical too, between Mags and Laurie.

A+++ to ebook and audible!

slow burn

One of my all time favorite listens. Love the friendship development of these mature characters. Very funny and full of dry sarcastic humor. This is definitely going to be a relisten.
