It's Never Too Late For Love
Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase
In this heartwarming, romantic, and humorous tale in the style of 21st century magical realism, Marsha Casper Cook introduces us to Noah, an eligible, single Chicago bachelor who seems to have no luck meeting the right woman, despite numerous matchmaking attempts by his overly involved, well meaning, but perhaps slightly neurotic, stereotypical snowbird mother. When Noah picks out Gracie from a local pet shop, events begin to unfold that lead him toward a romantic, happily-ever-after ending with the perfect woman who had been right under his nose all along.
Cook’s characters are compelling, the plot is engaging, and the pages fly. The story is almost Shakespearian in its various twists and turns, in the true sense of the words "Romantic Comedy." Far from presenting the clichéd sequence of events we would all expect from such a narrative of finding love in the big city, assisted by a magical, talking pet, Cook presents a fresh and believable cast of characters that pull us into their world. The book is also the perfect length for its genre, and will hold your attention in one sitting, much like a movie.
Cook’s writing also speaks to some themes of our generation, such as the late twenty-something or early thirty-something crowd looking for love and meaning, reconciliation with the past, and of course, our love of pets, especially dogs.
Highly recommend as a good read for anyone looking to enjoy a romantic comedy as they relax in the evening.

‘Love is a wonderful thing, and you never know when love can happen, you just need to believe it will’ It’s very rare for me to find a book like this one and as you keep reading, there is a constant giggle that it just can’t stop. Stories like this are a reminder that no matter the age or the rough pass of time, love will still come to you, from one way or another, a mother, a relative or a close person to you will always care and get worried about you and as twisted as your life might be, there is a solution for that too. I, honestly don’t have the words to express how much I love this book, especially because two months ago one of my beloved pet passed away and while reading this, I was remembering every moment of happiness I have with him, just because we have a language, can talk and complain it doesn’t mean dogs or animals in general don’t do that too, and considering the joy a pet brings to your life, it’s normal to suggest that this story happen to all of us in a daily basis.
No criticism, no suggestions, just buy and read this book, times are always difficult, no matter the perspective, but stories like this one can make everyone’s day a little bit better.
