Let's Connect by Kelly Jensen
3.0
3.5 Stars
As per the blurb, Dan has had it tough the last year, having gone through a divorce and still harboring long suppressed feelings for his BFF that he’s had for years. He’s accepted the fact that it’s time to move on from it all and to start anew via a dating app.
At times funny, horrifying, and embarrassing, Dan’s not deterred… much. Despite society having all sorts of platforms to present one’s voice or to engage with others, realistically, he realizes it’s quite difficult to actually connect on a genuine honest level.
The works I’ve read from Jensen have always shown an introspective look at emotions, the mental struggle, the ruminations on the pros and cons and doubts that come upon us all. The process of how Dan moves forward rings true and thoughtful and a bit painfully as well. I quite enjoyed this novella about an MC over 50, putting himself out there and not giving up on love! Rest assured, Dan gets his happy ending!
