The best things about this book for me are the kids and the narration. It feels like Matt was just wanting a "wife fill in". The fact that she's so pure and nieve, tge possibility of hooking up with an old dad just doesn't seem sexy to me. For a while the only thing going on is Matt being rude with a bunch of angst between them. Matt is a 30 year old super grouch and Octavia is an 18 year old virgin. It sounds like the story would get really hot and sexy after this point, but unfortunately it doesn't. When he sees the bullies in town giving her a hard time during her job search, he speaks up and hires her. Sounds like a great match for Matt right? Matt, who's still grieving the loss of his wife, thinks Octavia reminds him of his wife too much to be around so he doesn't hire her. She's helped raise her siblings while her mom worked to support a household without a dad. Long time resident Octavia just happens to be looking for work. When he starts working as a mechanic, a nanny becomes necessary. Matt's a sexy single dad who moves his kids to a new town after the death of his wife. Not the worst story I've ever heard, but certainly not the best.
