I enjoyed this read but editing and continuity let this book down!

I am confused about how long this book actually covers time wise but Gil and Rowan ..WOW the connection is hot but the talking is NOT.

and I am have a teen i get the earbuds thing totally but if Fisher was a great cook why didn't he cook more?

Gil ..we almost just skim the surface of who he is ..yeah he has an ex and a best friend but we don't know anything really about him...

I almost DNF this book.

Not sure if I liked Gil at all.
Talked about Fisher being a great cook but never saw or heard about him cooking. 
The never talking bugged me a lot and I don’t see how they fell in love. 
Rowen should have had a conversation with his son on page about his bisexuality. 
The end was the best part for me and brought up my rating.
