About this listen
When a buttoned-up professor and her unbuttoned daughter fall for the same irresistible man, a delightful, subversive comedy begins....
Life isn't easy for single mother Ally Hughes. Teaching at Brown, her class load is huge, and her boss is a menace. At home she contends with a critical mother, a falling-down house, and a daughter who never misses a beat. Between taking care of the people she loves, teaching full time, and making ends meet, Ally doesn't have time for a man. She doesn't date. She's not into flings. But then she meets Jake, an eager student, young in years but old in soul, who challenges his favorite professor to open up her life and her heart to love. It doesn't work. In fact his urging backfires.
Ten years later Ally's still single. Jake reappears and surprises her in a brand-new role: He's dating Ally's now-grown daughter. In this hilarious, heartrending tale, Ally is finally forced to concede (not only to herself) that an independent, "liberated" woman can still make room in her life for love.

“Moulin has succeeded at writing a frothy romance, but she’s also entered into the record a never-married mom story that’s more empathetic than it is judgmental - and that’s a much more impressive feat.” (The Washington Post)
“[D]elightful debut.... The pacing is effortless, the dialogue witty and slyly sexy.... From first to last, this book will charm you.” (The New York Times Book Review)
“The tone is rather like if a 21st-century Jane Austen completed an early draft of Persuasion after binge watching Sex and the City. The dialogue is snappy and the trivia is elevated.... This novel is for those looking for a sexier 'Sleeping Beauty' set in the real world.” (Kirkus)
