Many thanks to @berkleyromance for eARC. Flirting with Fifty by Jane Porter ⭐⭐⭐(3.5/5) This is heartwarming and clean contemporary romance that revolves around Paige who finds second chance at love at age 50. The story is about second chance, learning to get out of comfort zone, put yourself first, trust, friendship, and love. This is character driven story, written in third person alternative from Paige and Jack’s perspective that highlighted their personal life and feelings. The story mostly take place in Orange County, California with academic setting but we also see Yellowstone Park and Tanzania that add interesting elements to story. Romance is slow burn with second chance trope. I liked instant chemistry and connection between them, how they both recognized their feelings and pull tto believe in ‘love never dies’ thing. There isn’t much conflict or drama and no hot scenes so if you prefer romance, clean and dramafree you’re going to love this. What makes this different is main characters’ age. This started really good but the middle part is terribly slow. I don’t have problem with slow burn romance or slow pace but here it felt too slow with nothing happening for long long time. It had lull of regular normal life which is sure realistic and relatable but like I said Paige’s dilemma and self-doubt was too much for me. She was constantly in her head to the extent of making her monologue repetitive and i didn’t like that. Overall, this is lovely, heartwarming, realistic and enjoyable clean work place i with second chance trope. See other images for quick points & quote.

"... If this movie tanks, are we going to blame the moviegoers or because this movie sucks. It's because this movie sucks, right. The same thing as in politics. Politics is the only place where we can blame the voters instead of our political insights. We don't see politics as something we all consume." - Will Hurd (R-TX)... #uchicago #instituteofpolitics #hydeparkchicago #academicsetting #debating #conversations #texasrepublican #willhurd #bienvenidosamigo #elsurdetexas #nonpartisan #antiwitchhunts #proudprogressive #kellercenter #lovethyneighbor #eventheconservativeones #nonjudgementallove #unconditionallove #bipartisanship #istheonlywaytogo (at Harris School of Public Policy - the Keller Center) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3ntzJhAg6E/?igshid=li0o7myt4wre
