Loved this book, loved the characters, loved the writing style. Brava to author Marianne Cronin.

Lenni is 17 yo with terminal illness. She's bored of course, being 17 and stuck in hospice.
Margot is 83 yo with medical issues but has enjoyed a full and colorful life. One day Lenni wanders into an art class for seniors and with persistence is allowed to join the group. She and Margot end up as partners and enjoy each other's stories and art. Leni proposes they tell their life stories in art by each year, thus 100 years of art in a touching project.

I laughed, I cried while thoroughly enjoying this book.
