Textbook Romance by Kristen Bailey

 

Having not heard of Kristen Bailey, I chose this book based on the blurb – and on the fact that  I work in a school like the main characters. I am certainly glad I did. There is more to this story than meets the eye, and I was very invested in the characters and willing things to work out for them.

 

When Zoe finds out that her husband has been cheating on her for a year – with a friend of hers – at a friend’s wedding her life seems to implode. Luckily the lovely Jack – a friend of the groom is there to pick up the pieces and get her home in one piece. When Jack gets a temporary job at the school where Zoe teaches it seems like it’s meant to be – however Zoe is in her early 40s with teenage children and a scumbag ex husband, and Jack is 14 years younger (29) with no children or any ties, and hasn’t mapped out his career yet. Whilst Zoe and Jack’s friends are trying to matchmake and the couple have an undeniable chemistry, Zoe doesn’t want her children to find out as she feels they have been through enough change in their lives.

 

I really enjoyed this story, and especially the descriptions of relationships inside a school. A great story for a summer holiday. I will definitely be looking out for more books by this author.
