Ignite by Melanie Harlow
4.0

Dex is a grumpy, unlikable, really trying to be a good dad, but even more interested in being a good neighbor, who needed to constantly comment on how young his hot neighbor was.

Dex was a hot mess that could take control in the bed room, but couldn’t seem to get control of his emotions and acted like a toddler that skipped all his naps 90% if the book.

Was it corny? Yes. Did Dex keep making the age gap weird? Yes. Was Winnie a GD boss owning her own home with emotional maturity that callled Dex out on his shit at 22? Yes.

Honestly, it was refreshing to have a book with a MMC that wasn’t perfect and had lots of flaws. It showed struggles of co-parentings, dealing with hard issues and growth in facing fears.

4 stars. I enjoyed it.
