This was a pretty quick and sweet read.
Emily has had a rough time when it comes to relationships and the right guy. Now she is a single mom to 4 boys. Things aren't easy but she is a strong woman.
Patrick tries hard to be a good teacher, but something about Emily's eldest Jason, just stuck with him (and well after that initial incident with the mouse trap, that's 1 memory that won't go away!).
Both Emily and Patrick are dealing with a lot of past struggles (her for trying to do what's best for her boys and him with his guilt ridden conscious about past deeds). I like that both of them learn to work together and try to do what is best for the children as Emily steps into the unexpected roll of PTA president.
This book is not all fluffy and no substance. There is character growth, struggles and actual depth.
