Review: Same old story

The "best friend's dad"  trope is pretty common.  In this one,  the author made the age difference minimal by making the best friend 4 years younger and the dad a teen parent (15?  Really?).I didn't find anything particularly original in this story.  Also the version I read had some typos ("prey" for "pray"  was pretty funny,  but the consistent misspelling of "heifer"  was annoying).The thing I liked least about this book was the rushed ending. (spoiler alert).After the dad pretty harshly dumps his lover when things get rough,  and doesn't say word 1 to him for months,  during which the lover is injured,  he comes back after getting permission from his son.  Really?  This is the HEA?  Relationships are built on trust,  and there is no effort to rebuild at all.  This wasn't really a relationship at all,  I didn't think.  Telling someone you love them means nothing if you don't show it.But this is pretty normal stuff from younger authors;  romance in which sex and infatuation are enough to make things work.  It is only those of us who know better who need relationships where people actually treat each other well too.
