Synopsis (Goodreads):
Alice is in love with her best friend. Now all she needs to do is tell him.Thoughts on Live and Let Grow: A sweet little nugget of a story with a lot of heart. Alice isn't good at playing games and appreciates how Milo always acts plainly with her. But...they're both hiding the fact they have feelings for the other (feelings that go beyond just friendship, that is!) because they don't want to lose what they have.
Best buds Milo Manganiello and Alice Hooper have been the one constant in each other’s lives for over fifteen years. The charismatic and compassionate physics professor was there when Alice got married, and he was there ten years later when she got divorced. Likewise, the candid and kind computer science professor has always been there for Milo. She babysits his apartment and plethora of houseplants when he’s traveling and they share breakfast together every day he’s in town. Alice wasn’t always in love with Milo, but the feeling has grown, and when Milo returns from his latest globe-trotting adventure, Alice decides it’s time to spill the seeds.
Does Alice have the grit to confess? And will feelings take root? Or is hers a love destined never to bloom?
‘Live And Let Grow’ is a 14k word (short) contemporary romance of long-suffering unrequited love and can be read as a standalone.
When things sort of go sideways after Alice attempts to tell Milo how she feels, the two have a bit of a breakdown in communication. As in, they both read things into the other's actions that lead to hurt feelings and drastic measures.
Might I just add, kudos to Alice and her fifty dates. That's...a lot of dating. A painful lot of dating.
Slow blooming love, branching out, a few hurt feelings, and a HEA (eventually!). Short, sweet, and just what I was looking for.
