“Why can’t someone simply make all my tough life decisions for me?”
I was worried about reading this book. There were so many mixed reviews, many people not liking it, but a lot who did so I was nervous I’d be wasting my time. I’m glad to report I enjoyed this. This was a super cute easy low angst sugar sweet book about a Jewish kindergarten teacher and a single father. Olan was a super cute, super dork who I really liked, and his daughter Illona was just as cute. Their relationship was adorable. Marvin and his relationship with all his students was also really precious. I’m not a huge kid person in real life but something about kids in books (I don’t have to listen to them cry) doesn’t bother me. I enjoyed the classroom time with them and Marvin. I also enjoyed the relationship between Marvin and Olan. Though they said they would take it slow,I think they don’t know the meaning of it lol . This book is about opening yourself up to love and dealing with childhood trauma and anxiety and being in recovery. And I think Marvin could have dealt with a lot of his shit better, I’m glad to see he is trying and making a plan on working on himself for himself and for his loved ones. I really wanted to see more of their relationship after the big “conflict” but alas books hardly ever do that. Though they have another book together so I could always read that. I enjoyed this a lot, it had good characters, good sex (not a lot) and made me laugh. I recommend it if you’re looking for a little happy time as a buffer between more emotionally taxing reads.
