Rezension von AnsoI'm really struggling with rating this book. At first I was going for 3 stars but after thinking about it - I just can't. There was too much I didn't like. <spoiler> 1) I hate age gaps. It bothered me in Kulti and here it annoyed me even more. Because I'm Luna's age and in my opinion her attraction to guys 15+ years older than her are some obvious Daddy issues. And I just didn't feel it. There is no reason for Rip to be 15 years older than her. It added nothing to the story. And I don't mind age differences in general...but I feel like 8-10 years is my limit. 10 I already find difficult to enjoy. Especially people in their 20s are just generally in a different place in their lives than people in their late 30s/40s. I just couldn't relate to her "silver fox" attraction and ex be wanting her to call him Daddy because that's just really weird. This is also why I found Rip's nickname for Luna cringy - baby girl. He's 15 years older and calls her baby girl. That somehow weirds me out. Also - she's a woman. Not a girl. It just all adds to this slightly condescending undertone of the small, delicate girl and the great, strong, firce man. 2) Rip is 41 and has never (!) had a girlfriend? Not even before his life went to hell after his mum died? Before he was emotionally distant? Why? 3) Luna, while I did like her somewhat, was extremely dense. About everything concerning Rip. And at 75% it got to the point where I couldn't take it serious anymore. And that's also roughly the point where the book lost me. It was all so unnecessary. It wasn't angsty and slowburning anymore. It was just stupid, boring and seriously annoying how Luna didn't get it. No matter how explicitly Rip told her that he liked her. That he wasn't doing it out of guilt or as a favour or as her boss - she did not get it. She refused to understand it and I refused to understand her. 4) Rip and Mr C being father and son was so obvious from the beginning it was just utterly ridiculous to present that as a kind of plot twist. </spoiler> I wanted to love this book. I really did. Like lukov, lingus and Winnipeg - the books I really enjoyed - I wanted to enjoy this. But it just feels off.
