Ruined it with the epilogue. When will authors learn not every female character’s happily ever after needs to involve pregnancy and kids? Especially when motherhood makes no sense for the character and it completely changes the tone of the book. Seriously - write better endings than this.

Esta entretenido, pero no es lo mejor que he leído de Vi Keeland, pero dejando eso de lado, es una buena oportunidad para leer acerca de una mujer de 38 años recién divorciada, que necesita empezar a salir, pues estuvo con el mismo hombre 20 años, con una amiga genia (que deja un poco de lado una vez que la historia) que le crea un perfil en una app de citas y comienza a interactuar con Donovan que tiene 25 años, un cuerpo de infarto.
La sinopsis lo deja todo claro, no te llevas ninguna sorpresa por parte de los protagonistas, lo más relevante es algo acerca de los padres de Ford, que tiene su punto para suceder, pero que siento innecesario, ya que me quebró lo que parecía firmemente un amor verdadero y hace que pierda la confianza hasta en los libros.
Me hubiera gustado que se hubiera expandido un poco en la historia de Eve, Ryan Jr, Logan o Bella, incluso de la Sra. Peabody

I’ll admit that while I was super excited for another Vi Keeland book, older woman/younger man stories aren’t really my thing. I much prefer the opposite when it comes to age gap stories. But I still was excited to read All Grown Up since I love Vi’s stories, and this one was great! Vi never disappoints, and I think readers are going to love this one!
Ford and Valentina captured my attention instantly, and I couldn’t get enough of them. I loved the chemistry and connection between them. They were real and genuine and very easy to relate to. I felt like I was right there with them on their journey and I loved how they handled every up and down that they experienced along the way. This couple is one of my favorites from Vi, and I really felt like Val and Ford were perfect together.
Overall, another great story from Vi. She always captivates me with her unique and original characters, and I love knowing that she always has a fresh new story full of the unexpected whenever I begin a new book by her. Each story feels like an entirely new experience with characters I know I’ll love forever, and that was definitely the case with Val and Ford. If you are a fan of age gap romances, this is one you must read. If you are on the fence or unsure, I highly recommend you take the chance here on All Grown Up. You won’t regret it!

Fairly cute and decent read. Not a terrible age gap rep.
This was a nice book, easy to read. Not my favorite an older heroine with a younger hero but it was good.
All Grown Up is a winning older woman/younger man romance that hits all the right notes.
Valentina is reluctant to return to the dating scene after divorcing her high school sweetheart. While she is hung up on the big age difference (12 years) between her and Ford, her fears are not simply based on her insecurities or what people think—although that is a large part of her hesitation. She has legitimate concerns for Ford’s wellbeing as well.
He may be only 25, but Ford could give lessons on how to be a man. His level of maturity is remarkable, and it is admirable how he is so honest about his emotions. I enjoyed his pursuit of Valentina and the ways he encourages her to give zero craps about others’ opinions.
The story could easily have Ford and Valentina sneaking around for sexy times throughout the entire story and nearly getting caught. I’m so glad the author avoids that trap. Their relationship is based on more than just physical attraction.
Some of the characters could have been more developed; for example, Ford’s sister and his best friend. I loved Valentina’s meddlesome friend, Eve, though. The Montauk setting is charming – a perfect backdrop to this witty, sweet, and sexy story.

This book was on fireeeeeeeeeeee.
All Grown Up was a fun audiobook to dive into. Honestly, this just proved that age is just a number. Who cares if you want to date someone younger than you? I mean, as long as they are above 18+ years old and are consenting. Other than that, you do you baby boo. Love is love. I do not judge.
Enter Valentina and Ford. It was laughable when she was freaking out how she knew who Ford was. It shouldn't matter that he used to babysit your kid, who is now an adult. Heck, Valentina deserved love because her ex was a complete douche canoe. Oh lord, I hated him and I barely met the guy. All I know is that she deserved all the orgasms she missed out with him.
Hello Ford, god he was adorable. I loved how he constantly told her that it didn't matter if she was older than him. He was in love and wanted her to just see it for herself. Eventually she did and it was so sweet. Heck, even the ending will make you smile.

Super sweet
This was a really cute story about an older woman finding herself and love after divorce and navigating a complicated relationship.
