This had so many things that I loved!
- Older characters (48 and 50)
- Geeky Gamers
- Bi/Demisexual rep
- friends to lovers
- hilarious mix-up (she thought he was 20, he thought she was 80)
- teens who felt like teens

Keep in mind that we do have some harder topics: biphobia, homophobia, mentioned death of a parent, talk of end-of-life care

I seriously loved these characters and their relationship so much. I loved how snarky and funny that they could be. And I loved the demisexual representation!

emotional lighthearted

3.0

This was the first romance I’ve read which features an older couple - he is 50, she’s around 48 - which was great and made such a nice change. 

It was cute but just a bit cringe in places (particularly her ‘badass’ attitude) and I felt like they actually fell in love a bit too quickly.
