It's Normal People for pensioners (sort of)! When 70-somethings June ("she's the grass that needs cutting. She's yesterday's eyeliner today") and Ray ("he's one of his GP's best patients") meet, we get Andrew Meehan's charming, subversive, off-kilter story of late love, Best Friends. I loved it.

Best Friends by Andrew Meehan, a gentle, off-kilter tale about a late-life love, is a joy to read

Is it only out in paperback? I can’t find it for sale as with a hard cover anywhere?

Andrew Meehan is on a roll. A year after the brilliant Best Friends👆, he's back with a story of friendship between a Irish-lad-turned-monk and a character actor ("His face was the special effects"). Another short book about love from Meehan, and another good 'un: Me on Hey Man:
