I won't lie. The description make me think this is a smut novel. (Maybe I just have a dirty mind)

There might be or there might not be any 18+ scene in the future, but so far I am satisfied with the story. I love how strong the main character was, and how she could control her emotion even when it's really hard for her. The male character was adorable too. The story is simple, but the character are 3 dimensional. I hope there'll be more josei like this being... more>> translated. <<less

It was said that one of the painful parts about getting cheated on is thinking that you're not enough, and that you're lesser than the one he cheated on you with. This is especially true for people with low-self esteem. You come to think that you're boring, that you lack a lot of things, that he's not happy with you, and that you are easily replacable...

So I understand why she puts herself down after that moment, and why she's not motivated to look for someone new at once, especially... more>> since she also seems to have a fragile self-esteem.

The story may seem fast, but the emotions it contains somehow linger.

I've expected them to end up together, but I still really felt happy seeing the ending. I just wish it was a little longer, or for there to be an epilogue. <<less

I give 4 stars bcause it has so much more potential in it. I wished aurhor developed this story more... I wish.

His story is good. Cute, heartwarming... Not for ones who wish for heart throbbing or some angst-fluffy-sweettroller coaster plots.

this story has proper portion of parts where u wanna cry so hard, smile from its cuteness, laugh a bit from its silliness. Oh I wish it's not this short. I love how MC deal with herinner turmoil, staying strong but still human. I love how the ML progressfrom being curious--caring--tehn... more>> falling for MC. <<less

I love this story but was 28 years old considered as a middle age? I assumed that MC was around mid 30s but she was only 28 years old, not considered that young but definitely not old, so I think the description was a bit misleading. And the age gap between MC and ML was only 5 years apart so it wasn't that much.

I love MC and ML's interaction. Both weren't perfect but they really complemented each other. MC's ex was a big time sc*m, I won't add further comment... more>> about him. The only complain I had towards this story was it's a bit too short. I wish I could read more about them after they're officially dating but sadly, it ended right after the confession part. <<less

It's a good short novel, and with no bed scenes, just words of maturity a little bit, but it's not exagerated. I do recommend, honestly if you want a short, cute interaction and likeable persons in their own way.

Good night.

A co-workers to food moocher/feeder to friends to lovers tale. It alternates chapters between leads to good effect. Our MC is reeling from a major betrayal in her relationship and the fear of aging alone. Her chapters have a sad and sweet vibe. Our younger ML is a bit of a spoiled and quirky guy. His chapters are much more upbeat in tone; although, there is an edge of confusion as he falls for this woman who isn't really like anyone he’s ever been close to.

Recommended for anyone who laughs... more>> at the old adage “the way to their heart is through their stomach. “ <<less

It's a nice short read. I like how the leads interact in a casual, friendly way with mutual roastings xD

I like the FL, she's professional, skilled, and has an independent and equal attitude towards finances. Unfortunately, she has really low self-esteem. In my personal opinion, it's almost ridiculous how she thinks of her 28-year old self as a middle-aged woman that's not fit to be seen with a younger, attractive guy. Like, b̶i̶t̶c̶h̶ ̶p̶l̶e̶a̶s̶e̶ you're perfectly alright, stop putting yourself down so much xD just be proud and have a... more>> good time~!

The ML is kinda immature and just really likes her food. He's (more or less) professional and good at his job too, kinda nice, and cute :D and I like his attitude towards things.

Also, today's "deserves to get yeeted" award goes to her ex. What an unappreciative, inconsiderate and thoughtless person. In essence, an oof. Good riddance lol

All in all, a quick and enjoyable read of 1-2 hours or so. <<less

A very sweet short story. The interaction between ML and MC is very cute. Sigh. The only part I hate is that it ended shortly after the confession, I wanted more. Also, a bit sad I didn't get to see how the scum ex got rejected lmao 🤣

Cute! I like how awkward the two are, each falling in love through their everyday interactions, although some romantic tension would have been nice.

My only complaint is that I wished it was longer so the author could really delve into their feelings for each other and the interesting struggles that would come from their different backgrounds.

It is a simple cute and romantic one-shot story. I though middle-aged woman is around 30~40ish but unexpectedly MC is just 28! Lol. The ML is younger, and I could not relate myself to their story (never been in this type of relationship) but I could enjoy the story until the end. Recommended!

It's a very simple down to earth story. Lol maybe I am bias. I've just read a 100% male god, 100% perfect boy friend then husband that can't exist in this world kinda sweet story type ><, then I read this.. It's kinda like a cold water splash to my heart. Yes even though this story theme kinda fantasy-ish (younger man love an older woman, even the older women only 26!!><, I thought she is 30 or 40!!!) But it's a good story. Reality there's love that's just... more>> bittersweet. Some times sad, but in the end in a slow and warm feeling just sip into the heart and a kinda "love" opens up. Lol. Tq <<less
