Summary

Joel lives in a nursing home, and he’s not one bit happy about it. He doesn’t like being told when to eat and when to take his pills. In fact, he doesn’t like living at all, and he’s decided he’s going to end his life on his terms. 

When he tells retired soap actor Frank, he urges him to go out with a bang. Together, they embark on a mission to find the perfect suicide and along the way discover the strength of friendship when you really feel alone.

Beautiful!

A truly beautiful book. Narrated to perfection.
A tale of friendship, love and how the elderly are treated.
One of my favourite books of all time.
