This was such a fun read. I really loved all the Jewish words that was spread thru this book (they're such fun to say!) And I really loved how cute and dumb and sweet Marvin was and Olan being so kind, gentle, loving, and understanding. They honestly make a great couple and I loved how they progressed thru the story. Ilona was such a treat as well! I am not usually a fan of book characters with kids but Ilonw got my lil heart. 

The sex scenes were a bit too much for me. I don't mind open door, I'm not a prude, but I found at a certain point that I just wanted to skim the sex parts so I could get back to the main story. 

I did find the weird obsessive with his gap in between the teeth a bit...much. he mentioned it a lot, and it was just too strange for me. I also wasn't a huge fan of
Spoilerthe sex scene in the classroom closet
but otherwise it was a good book.

Overall, a fun story. Will read another Wardell 100%!
