Canadian Boyfriend

3.5 stars.

I enjoyed it, but there were a few things that made me not like it as much as I wanted to.

This was cute. Brains are weird

CW: FMC recovering from eating disorder; MMC's wife died 7 months before book takes place

3.5 stars. Well-written contemporary romance, with both MCs working through some serious issues and supporting each other emotionally before sex rears its head. Good blend of serious (but not angsty) and humorous. Loses half a star because the MMC behaves unbelievably out of character in order for the Third Act Breakup to take place. Also, there is an important subplot about the MMC's tween daughter's grief, especially its impact on her relationship with her dad. But despite that dynamic, any negative emotions she might have about the FMC and MMC's eventual HEA are glossed over.
