Someone Please Turn the Shower Off
I'm so serious. Someone turn the shower off. In all seriousness, I absolutely adored this book. It was amazing the whole way through and through. If I were old enough of Theo, I would most definitely be adding him to the book partner list. A girl can hope.
The Characters
Olivia: I adored Olivia and the way she cared for her daughter. It was clear who was number one in her life, and it was obviously her daughter. Her insecurities and fears aside, she was such a strong character and it was wonderful seeing. I loved the way she allowed herself to work through her own fears in her own way even if Theo was there holding her hand.
Theo: Theo, Theo, Theo. If love spells were ethical, and you weren't fictional, I would be stealing you without a doubt. I fell in love with Theo from the very first moment we read from his perspective. I truly wish this had been a full length book because I was dying for more Theo and more of him with Olivia and his little beaver.
Things I Loved
I loved everything about this book through and through.
Things I Didn't Love
The length, honestly. That is my only complaint.
The Final Verdict
If you do not go read this at this very moment, we are no longer book besties. I am so in love with this book it isn't funny. I loved every single second of this book and wish it was longer. I could have done with a 500 page book or more. If you enjoy age gaps and want the woman to be the older in the gap, this is the perfect book for you.
