Grumpy-middle-aged-man-adopts-a-child is one of my favorite tropes, and this is a perfect execution of it. AJ and Maya's story was so heartwarming -- their grief and the way they grew together were wonderful to read about. I was so head-over-heels in love with the characters and their stories; it was nearly impossible to put this book down once I started.
I got this book for 50 cents -- I never expected to enjoy this as much as I did, but now it will definitely be on my list of recommendations for people looking to get into more adult fiction. Emotional, easy to read, and well-paced, this book is perfect for people looking for a character-driven story about the love of family and literature.
