justinlife 's review for:

The Barkeep and the Bro by A.J. Truman
3.5
emotional funny lighthearted relaxing fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

As I thought the last setup was ridiculous, this one took pit to another level. Here, we have Mitch, owner of a local pub who falls for his daughter’s ex Chase (everyone is over 21 here). While Chase might be 17 years younger, Mitch keeps gravitating towards him. 

I’m not a fan of workplace romance,but Truman handles it delicately and shows the issues with it. Both characters are given space to explore and figure things out. Overall a fun quick read.
