I regret to inform you that this wasn't for me! Don't get me wrong, I see the value and can relate to this book on a different level. However I disliked everyone except AIDEN. I mean I actively dislike people like Sheryl, Davy, Deb, and Aiden's Mom (for a large portion of the book I simply tolerated her but she did grow on me).

There were a few moments in the writing that felt very cringy and "tik tok" culture slang -_-. Big Dork Energy and F around and Find out. We could just not!

However it is only fair for me to also share: I love that Cathy wrote Maggie with common sense when it came to worrying about her safety when it came to meeting an online stranger. I respect that Maggie was down to ride for the people she loved and had a best friend who was willing to do the same.

I enjoyed this audiobook. I appreciated the demi rep and reading about characters on the mature end of life.

Aiden has the worst family ever, so I was glad he got away from them.

Overall, I did enjoy this book, but there were some parts of the book that I found myself skimming. It was a quick read and I thought that the romance was believable. I enjoyed the MMC more than the FMC, mainly due to his personal growth.

I liked that the geek culture that was promised was present, but it does not hinder the romance.

The majority of the side characters in the book were infuriating, especially Aiden’s mother and his ex. I’m glad they don’t reconcile - they were awful.

And a gripe I have with the cover: it’s not representative of the MCs - the characters are described with graying hair and Maggie is constantly described as disheveled.

Loved the "older" characters and bisexual MMC rep but holy smokes this book has a helluvalotta biphobia in it that isn't always challenged so go carefully my fellow bi readers.
