This, I felt, is in many ways a spiritual successor to 'The Good Place', with many of the cast from that earlier show appearing in this (mainly in bit parts).

Here, Ted Danson plays a lonely widower who, following the death of his wife from Alzheimer's, seems to be drifting more and more away from having any meaning in life himself, and from his own daughter, until that daughter challenges him to find something to do with his time.

So he answers a newspaper ad, and is hired to infiltrate an OAP home, following the hiring of a Private Detective (who is too young to do so herself) to investigate the potential theft in said OAP.

And, of course, Charles finds himself connecting more and more with the residents and staff of the OAP, as well as with his daughter, as a result, in a 'feel good' series that still also has its share of sad moments ...

Gravity Is The Thing is such a lovely, heartwarming book. The main character, Abigail, has had her fair share of grief and hard times already in her life. When she is given the opportunity to go on a retreat connected to ‘The Guidebook’ that she has been receiving chapters of since she was a teenager, Abigail jumps at the chance. When she is selected to be one of the few chosen from a large group to find out the true meaning of The Guidebook, she is stunned at the big reveal. As are the other chosen few. They all leave, feeling disillusioned. But when the course leader, Wilbur, phones her, apologises, and asks if she’ll come to the weekly classes near to where she lives, she agrees. We learn much more about the participants, and Abigail in particular. She’s a single mum who runs her own business, and she works hard.

This was a gorgeous book. It made me laugh and cry, and made me think about my own life as well. Highly recommended!

Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for my copy of this book.
