![]() Jane while teaching at her Genealogy night class meets with a famous, upcoming British actor. “Thirty-one, and reflected in the bathroom mirro, in the late evening twilight, didn’t she know it.” Only You is a chick-lit book that is an entertaining read with characters that slowly drew me in and piqued my interest to the point where I ended up caring about them. For example, she’s never actually in the spotlight. The parts I liked I really liked, but it missed the mark in several ways. But we got detailed girls’ nights and scenes with her sister “Mags” who was highly annoying. We got a relationship based on several weekly classes as teacher-student, a couple dates, and then months would go by where we were told only that months went by. Ultimately, what really detracted for me was all the time apart. To that point, the scenes with her ex and his OW were good. Who the hell cares? After her husband cheated, she should be all “in your face, bitches!” - but nicer. But her worry is that women will hate her. I don’t understand her reticence based on the opinions of others. The heroine does say at one point she’s never been on a date with a man his age, but that’s it. I don’t actually remember his age anywhere. Which makes the falling out with his parents extremely long lasting. At first I thought she was older than him, but his birth year is 1979 and given this book was published in 2019 he would seem to be forty. This is not a grand passion story, but it is very English and very believable. ![]()
