I didn’t love this one as a whole but what I did really like included:
✨Single Dad
✨Hockey Player/Romance
✨MMC + FMC Growth Through Therapy
✨Doing Things Because You Love Or Enjoy Them without strings attached
✨Boundary Setting
✨Letter Writing
✨Overcoming Food Trauma/Disordered Eating
What I didn’t love:
✨FMC always referring to the MMC by his full name (Mike Martin)
✨MMC Seemed Way Too Trusting before inviting FMC to move in/watch his child
✨The Fake Canadian Boyfriend thing seemed very juvenile to me
✨The Pacing felt way off to me
TW: death of a parent, eating disorder, abusive parent, controlling parent,
