The international bestselling novel about Murray McBride, a lonely 100-year-old man who's outlived just about everyone he's ever loved. But when he meets a boy awaiting a heart transplant, Murray may learn something about finding meaning in life again . . .
With all his family and friends gone except an estranged grandson, retired Major League ballplayer Murray McBride is looking for a reason to live. He finds it in Jason Cashman, a spirited 10-year-old boy with a terminal heart defect and a list of five things he wants to do before he dies. Murray is determined to help Jason fulfill his dreams. Together, they race against the limited time each has left, ticking off Jason's wishes one by one. Along the way, Murray remembers what it's like to be young, and Jason fights for the opportunity to grow old. But when tragedy strikes, their worlds are turned upside-down, and an unexpected gift is the only thing that can make Jason's final wish come true.
100-year-old Murray McBride finds new meaning in life, and starts a positive butterfly effect on the lives of those around him, in this series about coming of age, friendship, purpose. This heartwarming coming-of-old-age novel is perfect for fans of Fredrik Backman's A Man Called Ove and Mike Gayle's All the Lonely People.

The narrator mispronounced several words and names (Javier was Americanized and badly butchered) and his intonation was often way off, to the point of distraction. The redeeming quality was his voice, fortunately.
Overall, I wish I had purchased the actual book.
Sappy, but hooked me from the get go

I would then include anyone who wonders about life and its meaning, has felt joy and despair; love and abandonment; guilt and redemption. Then I would include anyone who has a soul that seeks understanding and compassion to read this book and reflect on its message. The best time to listen/read this book is now.
I am forever touched by its tender story of friendship.
Forever friends
