I knew this was a short book as soon as I added it to SG but I wasn't prepared for how short it felt. The writing was done well and the narration is AMAZING, but it definitely toed the line of telling us a bunch of backstory instead of showing us in a more natural way. This was two miscommunications too many for me to really enjoy it - which seems unlikely since it is such a fast read.

And the way the ex is vilified for a chapter just to have a "totally reasonable explanation of being cautious/concerned about her children" hit me really wrong: stop vilifying the female characters in MM books, it's unnecessary! If Grant had communicated with his ex half as much as he should have, she never would have acted the way she did (according to the last mentions of her).

Also, why does such a short story need two epilogues? C'mon

I usually love Lucy’s books but this was way OTT on miscommunication, I probably wouldn’t have bothered to finish it only for it was a short read ⭐️⭐️

If you love the miscommunication trope then this book is for you! My god it’s miscommunication after miscommunication! I expected this to be a slam dunk teacher age gap and marriage of convenience? Two of my faves together but this stunk. Brody and Grant were cute at first with their accidental marriage (suspend all your disbelief here y’all) because Grant’s kids school prefers two parent families???? Grant is divorced from his ex wife but gay but Brody doesn’t know???? But Brody has been his employee for four years???? So then they get married and have sex and it’s just “my husband this” and “my husband that” and schmoop until the ex shows up and of course throws a wrench bc she’s evil
