Not a super big fan. I really didn't like how Ben kept on pushing his boundaries with Jack, even after Jack had made it clear that he thought it would be inappropriate to pursue a relationship with a kid's guardian. It just made Ben seem incredibly selfish for putting Jack's job and reputation on the line for his attraction (even though Jack was also attracted to him). Jack telling him that flirting was a bad idea should've been respected.

I feel like Jack on the other hand was relatively well written. The way he eventually gives in to his feelings, the push and pull of attraction vs duty, his generally caring nature was delightful to read.

Milo though felt like he was written to be a plot driver? I feel like he was generally there to either be emotional or weirdly insightful. Maybe 11-year olds really do act like that, who knows?

I really liked it, but the ending felt rushed and was kind of anticlimactic.

Left to care for his teenage brother, Ben hopes he is doing the right thing. But when parent/teacher night happens at the school, Ben is left feeling not up to par and in desperate need of some help. Jack is a teacher at Milo's school and sees a boy who loves his older brother but struggling with the death of his parents. One conversation between Ben and Jack sets them all on a journey that sets them on the path to finding their forever family. This book was a joy to read. The characters were beautifully written and the storyline one I was sad to see end. This is my first book by Anyta Sunday but it will not be my last.

Good cute book, very slow burn, not a whole lot of actual romance, LOTS of casual flirting and stolen glances.

Not bad

Esta es la segunda novela de la saga "Amor y Familia", se pueden leer de forma independiente porque hay personajes de unas novelas que salen en otras pero no te destripan nada. La novela anterior, "Cuenta conmigo" tiene un estilo muy similar y me han gustado muchísimo ambas.

Si llegas a Anyta por la saga de los signos del zodiaco, aquí encontrarás una relación más madura con personajes en otra etapa vital pero también bastantes momentos cómicos. Si llegas por Mi roca podrás encontrar ciertas emociones intensas pero mucho menos drama.

Si vas a leer esta novela la primera, te recomiendo empezar por el principio de la serie, no porque sea necesario para entender nada, pero de esa forma disfrutas más cuando aparezcan los otros personajes que comparten espacio.

Disfruto mucho de los personajes de Anyta que no tienen ni idea de lo que les está pasando y descubren que se han enamorado de alguien de su mismo sexo. Aun así esta novela con el filtreo y la atracción clara desde el principio me ha parecido tremendamente divertida y tierna.

Ha conseguido hacer del (presuntamente) serio Jack alguien divertido y con capítulos que me han ido enamorando poco a poco.

Mención especial (como no puede ser de otra manera) a Virginia Cavanillas y su magistral traducción con los juegos de palabras, para mi es una diosa.

Si te gustan las historias de amor tiernas esta novela es decididamente para ti y esta autora en general también.
