challenging dark sad tense slow-paced

2.0

Not a fan of this book.  I found the female MC to be needy and conflicted.  And the way she let men dictate her life, I could not accept that, particularly since it seemed to be at odds with her character.  I enjoyed the descriptions of the art, but the rest, I could have definitely left behind.  2 stars

Solene is a 39 year old divorced mother of a 13 year old girl. Being the great mother she is, she takes her daughter and her friends to see their favorite boy band. When the girls get to meet the band, she stands back to watch the girls have their moment. That’s when one of the 20 year old boy band members starts laying on the charm and flirting with her. I mean, what could really happen? She’s twice his age, it’s not like it could be anything real. Right?
