Miss Olivia Dade does it again!! Absolutely loved this book. So many 💭 & how to put in succinct words…I’m a few years away from the age of 40 but in so many ways I identified with Tess, that it shocked me to realize how similar we are. I so greatly appreciate when an author creates characters that are relatable & relevant to me as a reader. I’ve been blessed to come across several authors who’ve given me stories that make me feel seen, heard & understood. This is also my first age gap story!!! Definitely loved it & recommend it to anyone who loves the the age gap, older female & younger athlete male tropes. I’m sure there’s more tropes but they aren’t coming to mind as I’m still processing everything this book entailed.
