The book is dorable and have many laugh out load moments. Somehow the book is a slow burn but not slow
at all. Walker is a fine man but he is out of his dept
when it come to his 3 daughters and Fin is his saving grace.
They have an interesting dynamic, with Fin being the dom and Walter being the sub in the relationship. They don't have extensive conversations about what it all means they just go with the flow. Since Walter is a single dad, that lost his husband and love of his life 3 years earlier, he hasn't had much time or will to explore his sex life and what he may be interested in. There is an insecurity to Walter that is endearing and true to who his is deep down and Fin in all his glory manages to bring the true Walter forward.
But I will say that this book was a little bit all over the place. It felt like it moved so slow and fast at the same time. I felt like the book could have gone a bit deeper into the development of the relationship. What I think some of my confusion stems from, is the way that the characters are written for each chapter. I feel like we jump back and forth and I some times loose myself in who's "character voice" I am reading. But this may also one from having read books lately that tell me at the beginning of each chapter who's voice I am reading right now.
This made my barin feel like it couldn't keep up and that frustrated me. So I enjoyed the book and I think it's funny but it also made me drag out the reading because I couldn't get into it well enough.
