“Sometimes our hearts don’t communicate with our heads.”
I enjoyed this one overall. I sort of had a hard time buying into the fact that an engaged to someone else, 29 year old man would be so weird about his dad dating his ex girlfriend that they’d feel the need to keep it secret for months and months, but also I’ve never been a 29 year old man whose dad was canoodling with his ex, so what do I really know.
That said. I enjoyed Millie and Zach. An age gap and two people falling in love despite the fact that they weren’t planning on it with each other. The sneaking around was fun even though they constantly felt guilty for it. I kind of wish that they hadn’t and had just been keeping it secret because they didn’t plan to peruse it and wanted it for them. ANYWAY.
Good read if you want ex boyfriend’s dad, age gap, secret relationship, and sort of fling romance all in a small town.
