The Brilliant Life of Eudora Honeysett

There's always time to begin living.

Inspired by the poignant pathos of Me Before You and the alluring allure of Eleanor Oliphant, Be Frank with Me is a heartwarming and jubilant book about an old woman prepared to accept death and the young girl who serves as a reminder of what it is to be alive.

Eudora Honeysett has had enough of this crazy, cacophonous world. She has lived a full life and has seen the humiliations and misery that come with being older. She won't take anything to chance at 85 years old. It will be her terms at the end. A single phone call to a Swiss clinic initiates a strategy.

Then she meets Rose Trewidney, ten years old, a vibrant, cheerful, pint-sized spectrum of color. Eudora just needs time to gather her affairs on her own. Rather, she finds herself going on a number of escapades with their kind neighbor, the newly widowed Stanley, and the incorrigible Rose—afternoon tea, shopping sprees, beach outings, birthday celebrations, and pizza parties.

As the three unusual best friends get closer and excitedly anticipate Rose's new baby sister's arrival, Eudora is brought back to her own early years, when she lost her father in World War II and the terrible toll it took on her entire family. Eudora discovers she has to accept the future after thinking back on her history.

But how can she possible say goodbye now that her zest for life has returned?
