Okay, but HOW WAS THIS BOOK SO GOOD??

A 22 year age gap? These big age gaps are my least favourite trope (yes, even more than cheating or secret baby or any of the usual suspects). So, how is it possible that I loved this book as much as I did? Like, one of my favourite books of the year levels of love...

I think it's because this romance was less about an age gap so much as it was about:
- forests of pining
- the most awkward dumb-dumbs being awkward and dumb
- finding a partner that really and truly brings out the best in you

What a delightful little novella!
