3.5 stars – This book was quite good, but it wasn’t great. I loved the premise of the book and that the characters were a little older, both protagonists were in their 40’s. Unfortunately they both tended to act like they were in their 20’s. I did enjoy watching their relationship grow from barely being able to tolerate each other, to friends, to more. I loved Dom’s son and Lesley’s grandfather; the secondary characters in this book were some of my favorites. Terry (Dom’s brother and Lesley’s ex) was a terrific villain, self centered, vain, into making trouble. There are points in the story where it seems to drag on, it gets a little bogged down somewhere in the middle but then the end seems rushed and left me a little disappointed. I would have loved to have seen a few more things happen simultaneously in the middle so there was more time at the end for resolution and an epilogue would have been good. I would have enjoyed a peek at their happily ever after. All in all I enjoyed the story and would recommend it if you’re looking for a funny and poignant story with older characters and lots of family generated chaos. I received a copy of this book from the publisher through Net Galley in exchange for an honest review.
