In this steamy, open-door gay romance that is "like sweetness and spice wrapped into a big, warm hug," a kindergarten teacher falls for the divorced father of one of his students--perfect for fans of Casey McQuiston and Anita Kelly (Alice Oseman, bestselling author of Heartstopper).
Those who can, teach. Marvin Block is one of the best kindergarten teachers out there. And despite his anxiety, Marvin's life is sweet. He knows what he wants. And what he wants is the Teacher of the Year Award. Not just for himself--his school needs him to win.
The New Year brings a new pupil to Marvin's class. But when Illona walks in with her cute-as-hell single dad beside her, Marvin's focus starts to slide.
Sure, his students always come first, but he deserves to have a life outside the classroom, too, right?
As their friendship deepens, Marvin realizes Olan has the potential to teach him things about love he never thought possible. But with the Teacher of the Year award and his school's future on the line, now's not the time for anything complicated.
With Olan's past and Marvin's present colliding, their experiment in love hangs in the balance. Marvin knows what he wants out of life. But now he's forced to consider what he wants out of love.
Will Marvin chalk the relationship up to experience? Or can they revise their story into a textbook romance?
