4.5/5
I really enjoyed this book! I loved seeing a middle-aged single mother as our protagonist, and a younger, hot guy with a heart of gold as her love interest. April and Mitch were such a nice balance for each other and they had real world problems to deal with such as what if the younger person wants kids when the older person is done having kids, how do you navigate dating/being in a relationship with one of your child's past teachers (especially when their aunt married another teacher, haha!), and how do you support your partner when the majority of their family doesn't JUST to name a few!
One thing I didn't like about this book, however, was the (at times) odd pacing. I felt like there were too many mini conflicts in this book, and I was surprised at how quickly the fake-dating was introduced and how late the Ren faire was introduced. Because of the timeline, it made me confused about how the book would come together by the end of it, and not in a good way but in a 'where are we going?' kind of way. But, I still loved these characters and will miss them! YAY for April and Mitch! :)
