Forever Friday by Timothy Lewis
The concept of a a love poem on a postcard from a man delivered every Friday to his wife for sixty years sounds so incredibly romantic, you want
to know more. I loved the idea of a realtor finding the album of postcards
tucked among the other books forgotten, unclaimed. The story flips back and
forth between the couple, Gabe and Huck Alexander, and Adam Colby, the realtor.
Pearl Garnet Huckabee, nicknamed Huck was a impulsive woman with unconventional
actions. The realtor recently divorced himself, set out on a
quest to discover the formula for the couple’s long romance and marriage. With much effort,
he traced down the last person with any knowledge of the couple and the puzzle
of the postcards.
The author has a very detailed way of writing. Sometimes it
seemed laborious and I had to take a break. The aging
Huck loses touch with reality. Forgetting that her husband is dead, she drives the nurses crazy by calling 911. All in
all it was a good read, funny at times, heartbreaking other times.
This book was given to me by Waterbrook Multnomah
publishing for my review.
