Small thing that probably only bugs me, 47 year old grandpa with 12 year-old granddaughter whose parents were 18 adds up to being a dad at 17
Since I didn't describe the sex I figured I could slip it by, that the two graduated at 17 and married.
I was 17 when I graduated from high school. My parents asked me If I was thinking of marring my girlfriend. I thought about it, lucky I did she cheated on me. But that maybe will be in another story I'll make sure they are 18 if I describe any intimate information.
I really enjoyed the premise of this story. I like the whole “found” family idea. I did have some problems with the writing style. The interactions between the MC and April let us get to know them. For the rest of the story, we were just told what happened. There’s little emotion or character development. All in all, it was a fun read.
The plot is good and promising, but the way the story is told is almost too real to be fiction ! It lacks all the little embellishments and details. Especially emotionally, in terms of the feelings of the characters, the description seems very reserved to me - just as someone would tell it if it were his own story ... !
Nevertheless, it's a good one!
4/5 stars from my side!
The scene where he raced to the hospital to attend to his granddaughter’s birth and wife’s death was really well done. I had tears in my eyes over the fictional loss. Story got a little clunky in the middle but finished well. 4.6*
Tragedy and pathos into a loving family that begets loving families. How blessed is that?
So if a 46 year old man who owns a business and is raising his granddaughter had alcohol in his house he would've failed her test? Someone likes to over virtue signal in their stories.....
Again, why we're the girls wearing sheer babydolls? Just another reason for empty virtue signaling? It's so unnecessary and strange
