Reading this felt like watching them just live their lives. A bit chaotic but felt authentic even if some of the dialogue was overly cheesy. It was a cute story.

Jody became guardian of Tiffany when both her parents passed away. Her mother and Jody were really close. As a bachelor at the age of 30, he is now trying to raise an 11 year old girl. Tiffany is very inquisitive and smart. He is trying to teach her about life, the birds and bees when she decides he needs a girlfriend.
Very endearing story!

2 stars. The pacing is very odd and uneven. The book keeps presenting moments as if they’re supposed to be dramatic or intense, but the actual events don’t feel that significant. Because of that, the tension feels forced and it’s hard to stay invested in the story. The whole thing just feels strangely paced and over-dramatic for what’s actually happening.

I was looking for a book that took me away from the psychological types that I had been reading.
This was decent. A nice little break.

Thankfully not every aspect of the story is cookie cutter perfection and joy. A story needs balance if it’s to be something that someone can vaguely relate to.

While not my normal choice of genre, I enjoyed it and would recommend it.
