Review: Dear Mr. Brody by A.M. Johnson
SYNOPSIS:
Parker,
I never meant for any of this to happen, to fall for you. It doesn’t matter that we’re both adults, or how much we want this to work. The college policy is clear. I can’t see a way around this without one of us getting hurt. If I would’ve known who you were when we met online, I would have never pursued a relationship. I’m new to all of this, and besides my daughter, getting to know you has been the best thing to ever happen to me. But I can’t make you hide again. I won’t. It’s not fair to either of us.
Deepest regrets,
Donovan

Dear Mr. Brody,
You’re right, we are adults. I’m twenty-four years old, and I think I can decide for myself what’s best for me. If this is about you losing your job, I’ll walk away. But if this is you trying to protect me, then you’re an idiot. I want you. I care about you. My past isn’t an issue. What we’re doing… it isn’t the same thing. If we have to hide, so be it. I’m not ready to let you go.
Your Lost Boy,
Parker
REVIEW:
*Book Received in Exchange for Honest Opinion/Review*
Van and Parker were absolutely everything! I adored these two and A.M. Johnson’s writing just keeps getting better and better. This story was filled with all the delightful troupes I was hoping for and it had me laughing out loud. These two were the cutest and I can’t wait to read the next book!
First off, I need to start with how delightfully predictable the plot was. I knew Van and Parker were the ones messaging on the app…and I was here for this train wreck. I was giddy with excitement for when they would meet in person and realize just who they’ve been talking to/getting off with. And it DID. NOT. DISAPPOINT. I was laughing, yelling at the Kindle, and swooning all within the matter of a chapter. *sigh* The chemistry, depth, and heart between these two is off the charts.
And seeing as this is my third age-gap book in row, I think I might be feeling some sort of way about this troupe. Van and Parker are so endearing. Both have a little bit of ghosts from their past hanging over them but I appreciated their honesty and transparency with each other. But what I loved the most was their stolen moments where their love was tangible. *swoon*
There are also cameos from all our favorites throughout the series and every time one of the guys appeared, they brought a smile to my face. Not to forget Van’s adorable daughter, who calls her Dad out on multiple occasions but the kid has a huge heart and was a total scene stealer. And speaking of scene stealers, I am crossing my fingers and toes that the next book is about Parker’s best friend, Marcus’ story.
