I love the style, I love the characters, I love the humour. I also like the fact that the love was unconsciously built over years of small & distant interactions. 
 This said, it feels a bit rushed at the end, or maybe I just wanted more, more more! But seriously, I think this is a Lanyon that should have been longer, or where there should have been no love declaration. "I really like you and want to date you seriously" would have been a more adequate ending. 
 I liked Con and Wes very much: 
 - Wes, confident but with dating skills that are a bit rough due to lack of use (since his kindergarten daughter was born), though he had excellent bed skills (obviously no lack of use). 
 - Con, the good, serious boy, passionate about his teacher's job, dedicated to his post grad studies, dedicated to his family (aunt and ill mother), well balanced with good friends and a good social life. But unlucky in love so far. 
 And the sex was short but HOT. I hope it's not the last time we'll hear from them. Hopefully, JL will carry on with the Christmas Codas and there'll be one about them. especially since Wes said his daughter will spend it at her maternal grandma's who lives in another town. 
 I Liked the kindergarten rules: 
 Share everything. 
 Play fair. 
 Don't hit people. 
 Put things back where you found them. 
 Clean up your own mess. 
 Don't take things that aren't yours. 
 Say you're sorry when you hurt somebody 
 Wash your hands before you eat. 
 Flush. 
 Warm cookies and cold milk are good for you. 
 Live a balanced life-Learn some and think some and draw and paint and sing and dance and play and work everyday some. 
 Take a nap every afternoon. 
 When you go into the world, watch out for traffic, hold hands, and stick together. 
 Be aware of wonder. 
 *** AUDIOBOOK 
 Just finished listening to the audio. It's a near perfect narration. The voices match the characters' personalities. This is a book that's even better in audio because the narration added an element of realism. I'm in love!
