A review by chloe_liese
40-Love by Olivia Dade

Swoony. Hot. Endearing. This is my first book by Olivia Dade, but it won’t be my last.

This is my kind of romance—real bodies, crystal clear consent, playfulness, intimacy, and frank conversation. I found 40-Love delightfully refreshing and had a smile on my face pretty much the whole time.

This book did so much so well: as I’ve mentioned above, it wrote intimate communication and physicality so well, and overall it also did a lovely job of building three dimensional people. I also loved Tess’s body positivity and confidence. It felt healthy and mature, and I’m here for that!

If you’re looking for a body-positive age gap romance with a destination setting and lots of swoony heat, 40-Love is the book for you.
