I really enjoyed this book and I think it’s because I’m a simp for Mitch Malone and I understand April in a lot of ways. I loved their chemistry and how Mitch and April understood each other so clearly. My one and only gripe was that April refused to believe Mitch when he said there hadn’t been anyone else for a long time in his sights. I heard him loud and clear and yet April still thought being 8 years older than him was a huge dealbreaker and fueled the neighborhood gossip mill. That made me want to throw my book because it went on for so long.

It's a light hearted romance book about a single mother falling in love with someone younger than her through a fake dating arrangement. Thankfully there aren't any major cases of second hand embarrassment, or silly scenarios which could have been avoided with some simple communication, two massive plot points that I absolutely hate in fake dating plots. Obviously the characters needed to talk to each other more, and the whole thing could have been avoided if people were honest about their flaws, but I don't think it would have been believable if they did, so all in all, it was a good time.
