This was a refreshing book because the protagonists were older. They are friends online but have not met – which, as you know, is completely my catnip. Because of the way their online interaction panned out, she thinks he’s a 20-something youngster and he thinks she’s an old lady in her 80s. When they meet they realise that they are the same age.
Maggie is wonderfully grumpy and anti social (frankly, I can relate). Aiden is a sort-of muted Sunshine to her grumpy. I liked that too.
One of my favourite things about this book was the explicitly demi-sexual hero. The fact that he’s only working out what’s ‘wrong’ with him (and she’s there to tell him that there’s NOTHING wrong with feeling the way he feels!) allows his demi-sexuality and his bi-sexuality to be discussed without it getting in the way of the story. Their whole interaction is really caring and adorable.
I love a prickly heroine and a beta hero, so I completely adored this story.
