Maggie is reclusive after a rough relationship/divorce. Aidan is dealing with a stubborn mother after moving close to home to care for his dying father. They both enjoy video games and initially connect online. Aidan thinks Maggie’s elderly (because he got her contact info from a church friend of his mom’s), and Maggie thinks Aidan’s twenty something since she knows he goes to community college. Eventually they realize they’re close in age. There’s sexual orientation discussions, and Aidan’s scorned ex bulldozes over Aidan’s privacy. The book was good, but sort of dry. I felt the friendship of the two main characters, and they were both likable, but I didn’t really feel the romantic spark. At no point in time did I want to quit the book, but I also didn’t feel that sense of can’t-put-down urgency I sometimes get when reading. (7.25)
It was a cute read. Two magazine writers in conflict. Her children set up dates for her. She’s newly divorced with a tool of an ex. I didn’t feel the intense chemistry but I liked the banter. Both main characters felt a little cardboard to me. The book was nothing special but it was enjoyable. (7)
