A Forty Year Kiss by Nickolas Butler

#AFortyYearKiss #NetGalley

I am a bit late to reading this novel which was published in time for Valentine’s Day. Still, there is always a good time for a good story and, after all, this is a story about time having passed.

Have you been in a relationship that ended when you were young? Have you ever wondered what could have been? Would you have wanted to see if it was possible to find new love with a former love? If yes, this beautifully written novel, is for you.

Spend time in Wisconsin with Chris and Vivian. Watch as they meet up again. Find out how their lives went? What will happen to them?

This is a gorgeous story of love after time has passed. It was such a delight to read this story with its mature characters.

Note that there are extras in the book including a reading group guide and a conversation with the author.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Sourcebooks for this title. All thoughts are my own.

From Library Journal:

The novel is beautiful and full of complex characters. It is a love story, not only between Charlie and Vivian but also between the novel and the Midwest, as the characters journey between Eau Claire, Chippewa Falls, and Spooner, WI, along with Minneapolis and Chicago. Fans of Butler and of romance will be delighted with this novel.
