A Dash of Salt and Pepper by Kosoko Jackson

Did not finish book. Stopped at 37%.
I did not like the main character. He is mean and annoying. He also is compared to the other love interests daughter CONSTANTLY. Like, sometimes multiple times in one chapter. The fact that he is feeling like a teenager because the love interest is a dad just makes the fact that the book is poised to get them together to be WIERD. SO SO weird. I'm not sure the ages, but it sounds like the main character is around 24 and the love interest is in his early 40s. His daughter is in high school, so he couldn't be much younger than this and I just think that's a large age gap, but I could have gotten past it if it wasn't for the fact that he is always being compared to the love interests daughter. 

Ex(ish): He said, Stop, and I did, and I felt like his teen daughter because why is it that parents all learn how to do that? Mine certainly did the same with me. 

Like,,,,, that's WEIRD THAT YOU ARE SAYING THAT HE IS ACTING LIKE YOUR DAD WHEN HE IS SUPPOSED TO BE YOUR LOVE INTEREST. 

Also, my partner thought this book was boring. Also kinda true. Definitely a slow read with nothing really going on. The main character just felt so one dimensional and like all he had was pithy lines to say. Cutting remarks a personality do not make. 

OMG ALSO THE LOVE INTEREST IS HIS BOSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LIKE WTFFF
