Thank you to NetGalley for an advanced copy of this book!

This is my 3rd Timothy Janovsky book and it's my favorite so far! Once Upon You and Me is a beautifully sweet story. I adored Ethan and Taylor and I found their chemistry totally believable. I usually have a hard time with age gap romances, but this one felt respectful and balanced. I also thought the spicy scenes were well done.

The tone of the book is mostly light and silly, but there is depth with the exploration of Taylor's hyper-vigilant people-pleasing due to being responsible for his younger siblings growing up, and Ethan's grief and loneliness over the distance between himself and his daughter along with how his late ADHD diagnosis affected him. Both characters' lives are highly impacted by Amy, Ethan's ex-wife, and what could have been a shallow, villainous character was also given a more rounded treatment. 

I also really enjoyed the New England woodland resort setting, as well as the contrast with the scenes we got in the sort of LA West Coast area. So many of the side characters felt like they could have been cameos of characters with their own books; the world felt real.

Highly recommend to readers looking for a heartfelt mlm romance who appreciate some nice gooey cheese.
