Ugh how many ways can I say I loved this? The banter is top notch, particularly for Maggie and Aiden, but also with Maggie and absolutely everyone else. Her son, her friends, and just about anyone else Maggie talks to has great repartee. I heard there was queer rep, and I love to see it. Watching this relationship blossom was just so beautiful, and I just wanted to hug the both of them. There is just something about following characters that have lived so much life and read as regular instead of "Sage and wisened" that is super relatable. I want more nerdy middle aged romance!
