Eddie Winston is a funny, kind, and sentimental 90-year-old who volunteers at the local charity store in Birmingham, UK. He brings home personal items with no monetary value such as old letters. Everything changes for Eddie when Bella, mourning the loss of her boyfriend a year earlier, walks into the shop to donate his belongings. With pink hair and a flair for fashion, the 24-year-old has more in common with Eddie than anyone might think, and they become unlikely friends. While a romantic at heart, Eddie confesses that he's never been kissed. Bella becomes determined to help Eddie find love.
Marianne Cronin's first novel, The One Hundred Years of Lenni and Margot, was wonderful. Her latest book, Eddie Winston Is Looking for Love, is another heartwarming story that left me feeling warm and fuzzy. It is filled with an endearing group of characters. Eddie's backstory explains why he's never been kissed and Bella, who has yet to cry over her loss, believes it's never too late to find love. What a great pair. What a great book!
Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars.
