this singe dad/ nanny trope book was a bit different. But a good different. It started with him still being married to his wife. But she wants a divorce because she couldn’t do this anymore and she wanted more from him. She didn’t care what her leaving would do to their three kids. Betsy moves in a house Wes’s parents own. After the divorce Wen and his three kids move into the same town and into the house next to Betsy. At first they were neighbours and the kids went to her to play but eventually it became more.
Also I liked how the book wasn’t as “predictable” as others. They fell in love she moved in and then they had their first big fight.
I loved the kids. The oldest was very mature for her age and had to carry everyone’s baggage then the youngest was I think the funniest one.
