This book is all about romance. I loved the story and writing. It's cute , romantic, pleasing, lovely and all those other things romantic. I liked that the H was sweet and protective. I liked the h because she was resilient without being whiny. Good lovable side characters. 

On the who,e I liked the simplicity of the romance and love between the H & h . Not much drama or angst. What little angst that was present got solved easily. Sometimes I need a book that is a simple romance and this was that book. It worked for me.

This book was a sad story from the beginning to end. At one point I gave up hope for this couple to ever get together. I hoped they would. rebut I also hoped they would not. I was on the fence about loving the h . This is one of those books that made want to jump into the book and make it alright for these two. Alas , in did not know how to . The sorrow , love, conflict , guilt the H felt towards the h were so genuine . poor h , who could not make it right.

i would not re-read this book , since it makes me sad. A different , difficult love story. Glad i read this story.

i tried writing what I felt for this book without giving away the story. It's not exactly a spoiler but still , I left it out .

Simple love story between 2 teachers.
I liked the main characters . But the story telling left me confused. The pov shifted abruptly between the 2 mc . Calling a person science teacher felt creepy to read. Ended abruptly. Felt like there could be book 2 , but if there is one , i wonder what more is there to write in book 2 other than a epilogue .
It's a 2 star read but gave an extra star for the likable MC. Roux & Urban  do write wonderfully H's.

I should have picked this book as my first mm book to read . I missed my chance. But i would recommend this book to others as a starter book. It sweet. funny , emotional, tad bit angsty . I liked all the characters. The story is okay , nothing catchy nor is it a page turner. The kid in the book makes this story more entertaining. He is over the top smart for a 9 year old. He talks like a 40 yr old, mature adult(off-putting at times). Even then i found him endearing.Not much is said in depth about Otter aka Oliver since this book is in Bear aka Derrick's pov. Its a novel about Bear's thoughts and his life.He coming to terms about loving otter and being gay.After all my negative thought above i myself wonder, What makes this book a 4 star for me? I think its the way it is written. Bear's thoughts are not boring. I finding it hard to put in words why i liked this book so much when i would have rated a similar story line a 1 star. I can only hazard a guess and say that this book is more of a Novel than a romance book.It also felt more like a lifetime movie .
So i went ahead and started reading book 2.
