aschwartau 's review for:

All Grown Up by Vi Keeland
4.0

I read this in two days on vacation.

I don't want to get too spoilery b/c too be frank, I didn't know much about it going in, but OOOOHHHHH this one is FUN!!!! It avoids most of the frustrating tropes of the "no we can't be together" genre, but I will say it took about 10% too long for Val to give in because what comes after is even better! Very sexy, funny, surprising in a few ways, very satisfying and much more realistic than I expected so it was a lot easier for me to let go and enjoy this one. Also did I mention it was sexy? lol VERY R-rated in all of the best ways.

Also for those interested in my fan-casting: this is who I imagined in the main roles

Valentina = Gina Rodriguez
Ford = Darren Barnet
Eve = Scarlet Johansson
Eve's husband = Mark Ruffalo
Valentina's son = Gregory Diaz IV
Ford's sister = Midori Francis
