Okay this was my own damn fault.
I went into this excited for the single parent trope not knowing is was with a major age gap 🧍‍♀️.
But we all know how I am, once I start a book I cannot finish… it’s a curse.

Okay this girl is 22. As a fellow 21 year old girl I would say that I am capable of choosing who I want to date rn.

Now what I don’t like is when the make love interest who is btw in his 30s keeps saying
“oh no I shouldn’t date her like she’s wayyyy too young for me and oomph I’m so attracted to her but I shouldn’t be. I shall suffer and die alone but still make her mad. “

SHUT UP OKAY. WOW HE WAS ANNOYING.
Here are some quotes from mister old man:
1. “ she even moved like a kid.”

2. “Were you even in school when we graduated?”
“Barely,” she said, giggling again. “I was in kindergarten.”
Jesus.”

3. “She was twenty-fucking-two, and I was thirty-four with two young daughters, and I had no business putting my hands on her. For fuck’s sake, she was nearly closer to Hallie’s age than mine.”

4. “Don’t tempt me, little girl.”

Now here is the quote that made me give this book a whopping 1 star with the urge to never read again:

“You have a crush on Dad, Winnie!”
My spine snapped straight. “I do not!”
“Yes, you do—ex-military, divorced single dad with daughters, swears too much.” She leaned back in her chair and kicked her feet. “It’s totally Dad. And you’re Frannie, complete with gigantic age gap! Just don’t let his daughters find you guys making out in the closet like we caught them.”
