Alongside this, both Bill and Mary have health issues and it is a heartwarming story in how everyone pulls together and supports each other. I felt it was old-fashioned in its presentation, however. Characters behaved and spoke in a manner far older than people of that age would do today. For this reason it seemed the book was set in the sixties.
Never Too Old for Love: A Contemporary Family Saga
I have ladies in their seventies attending my Zumba classes who do not seem elderly at all. Time to stop the stereotyping! Mar 15, Sheila rated it really liked it. This is a feel-good factor read with some endearing characters. The couple seemed to be entrenched in the 's and more like a couple in their mid 80's.
They didn't have any technology like an internet phone, mobile, tablet, laptop or PC. Most baby boomers have at least one of these commodities. Bill was a bit of a wimp for an ex-army chap.
Never Too Late for Love, Finding Love After 50
I don't know much about AMD so that was interesting but scary. It This is a feel-good factor read with some endearing characters. It was rather overdone on the arrangements and procedures. What the book clearly points out is that as a couple when one dies the survivor can be lonely as their partner has been their only friend. That makes them feel so isolated.
Apr 08, Shirley rated it really liked it. Never Too Old for Love is such a wonderful love story full of endearing characters, apart from Megan that is, what a horrible, selfish person she was!! I'm a great fan of Rosie Goodwin, and this book was such a delightful read. Mar 10, Joan rated it really liked it.

It is beautifully written with carefully crafted characters; some really lovely but some self serving, mean and grasping. This story is about second chances, friendship, mutual support and family love and I really enjoyed reading it. I would like to thank NetGalley and publisher Severn House for sending out my copy of the novel in return for an honest review.

And we had so much in common. We each feel that we found our soul mate and love of our life, which was pretty remarkable at our ages. Bill and Christine Gregory grew up together but only got together romantically when they were both They live in Boonton, N. First met in kindergarten in when they were both 5. They went all the way through high school together as friends.
Bill looked up Christine in , and they reconnected. All in all, it was a hour first date! We had a lot of years and a lot of questions to discuss. However, a missed opportunity in high school became the catalyst for our orbits always being out of sync. Once the orbits finally collided in , it was apparent that we were beyond compatible and that we probably always loved each other. However, being that we both went through some very rough times before we got together, we certainly appreciate each other even more than we might have, and we value each other for who we are. We are best friends first and foremost, and being together is totally effortless.
Being older and settled means we have more time for us, and we spend as much time together as possible. We talk to each other all the time and share many laughs. It helps that we are so much alike in almost everything sometimes almost eerily so , and we just enjoy being around each other. You are leaving AARP. Please return to AARP.

No matter how old you are, how long you've been single or how many times you've had your heart broken, there is always a chance that Mr. Oh-So Right is waiting just around the corner. We've been together for 11 years, married for nine with one kid. I had definitely resigned myself to a solo life, and had already begun living that way -- very independent and pretty happy that way.
Of course, just when I got in that groove, that's when everything changed. I really think there's something to that: I thought I was done dealing with middle school puppy love when my kids got out of middle school. I was 34 when a girl I last spoke to in high school contacted me on MySpace. We emailed and chatted for a long time, during which I began to feel I would be forever alone.
I went on a disastrous date with someone else. Finally went to meet with the girl from high school, and almost didn't click -- she was so shy -- but I stayed close and asked her if I could come in and talk, instead of going home. I stayed all night. We began dating, moved in together and quickly after got married. It's been four years and I'm as happy as could be, deeply in love with her.
I was her first kiss. Spent long stretches alone, sometimes.
Was comfortable with both. A true 'confirmed bachelor'. At 36, I met my wife she was 28 at a party.
