Most of these types of book I read it is the most cliche stories with cliche arguments and immature characters. However, I think this book is the first I've read where it actually felt like a realistic storyline.
The "fallout" didn't seem rushed because the groundwork had been laid and it made sense for it not to work out while still rooting for it.
Also, all the characters felt adults in their opinions and actions. Like this didn't have the trope of ex's hating each other or trying to ruin the others happiness. It had adults dealing with the hurt of divorce and trying to deal with co-parenting in a respectful way for everyone. Also, looking at age difference while being respectful but also mentioning all the reasons why a relationship with a bigger age gap might not work.
I really liked this book icl
