Ein lustiges und trotzdem gefüllvoles Buch das die Geschichte von Lu weiter erzählt in New York. Es werden ernste Themen wie Alleinsein im hohen Alter, wie Geld die Leute ändert, Fernbeziehung aber von Lus Perspektive ist alles doch ein bisschen lustig. Habe die Serie geliebt und das Ende hat mich nicht enttäuscht
