🌶️Tʜᴏᴜɢʜᴛs:
This was an enjoyable read. It’s refreshing to read a romance involving mature characters. 
[As an aside: this is labeled as a “later-in-life” steamy romance. As a 53yo, I’d like to argue that 45 & 36 aren’t exactly later-in-life but comparatively to the norm I suppose it works.] 
First off, I’ve never read a book set in Tel Aviv so this was wholly new. I love learning about new places and new language. Told in dual POV we get both Dafna and Erez’ thoughts and feelings as they navigate this situationship. That is a nice touch. It is written in third person so it takes a little getting used to and some rereading every now and then. 
I really loved the communication throughout the book, in all the relationships. Showing that even after divorce families can still continue to work together and depend on each other when needed is a highlight for me. (Someone send this to my ex 🤪)
