The Undermining of Twyla and Frank is a delightful book with lots of whimsy and magic, and just the right amount of adventure.

The Undermining of Twyla and Frank is the ultimate comfort read. It’s quirky, funny, emotional, and romantic while also addressing meaningful social topics. Twyla’s a burnt out, cage-free Midwestern mom on a self-worth journey. Frank is a sturdy, salt and pepper, gruff yet sweet-talkin’ (but only with her), daddy *ovulates*. Both single in their 50’s (he’s divorced, she’s widowed), they’re work besties who plan to retire together—falling in love would ruin their friendship, right? Not if a certain pink, sparkly dragon has anything to do with it! Megan Bannen masterfully weaves in tropes and foreshadowing yet still manages to be surprising in the best ways. This seasoned romance is such a lovely counterpoint to the first book in this universe. I’m obsessed with Mom and Dad!
