"How am I supposed to act like the boss around here when Holden Wynn is strutting around dressed like Magic Mike?"

Ava Munroe is back with her latest, Better Than The Single Dad. And Munroe did not miss.

Josie Greene is a delight, and badass; Holden Wynn is a teddy bear. I loved their relationship from start to finish, and they might just be my favorite out of all of Munroe's book couples. 

The banter between them, from emails mixed with tension to flirting in the school parking lot. The way he noticed her from the start; her insecurities, her behavior, her inner thoughts. The way he cared for her, just by being there. MY HEART.

I think my favorite character was Mia. She was an absolute joy, and I loved picturing her in her dad's jersey.

Munroe makes readers feel like they're there. Within the story. And I needed more. 

And the Wednesday nickname? Kill me now.

Readers will explore so many topics: from mental health, anxiety attacks, family relationships, divorce, and much more. 

I absolutely loved BTTSD, and all of the characters.
