I'm a huge age gap girl but I was so nervous to read this because I new it was extremely slow burn leaning on the PG if not G side for the first 70% of the book. I'm so glad I took the chance this story is so cute and sucked me in. When you get to know the FMC and all that she's been through it makes since but boy is she a little spit fire. I honestly may go on to read more of her books

Love this author. This one missed the mark for me. 
Chocolate milk on his breath? Gross? The stupid arguments were annoying. The push and pull was boring. I just didn’t feel it.

The comments about farting and the that’s what she said jokes really turned me off this go around.

Also I don’t really like Dex that much, tbh. He seems quite emotionally immature, and he never really apologizes for the things that he says. Iris was kind of annoying as well.
