Dylan and Scarlett were both incredibly likeable, well-developed characters, and it was easy for me to root for them both individually and as a couple. I especially loved Dylan, whose personality was pretty much the opposite of what I would have expected from a hot, rich, famous model/actor. He wasn't overly arrogant or cocky (though he was certainly confident), but rather incredibly sweet and loving. He had so much love to give, but couldn't seem to find the real, lasting romantic relationship he craved. Not only that, he secretly struggled with the fact that the people he loved never seemed to take him seriously, and he constantly felt as if he had to prove himself to them. There really was a lot more to Dylan than it seemed based on his surface charm and flirty, easygoing attitude, and it was lovely to watch Scarlett slowly peel back the layers and realize that he was the perfect man for her.
The book's secondary characters were just as much fun as Dylan and Scarlett, especially Scarlett's son Noah and Dylan's brothers Miles and Owen. I loved that Noah seemed so much like a "real" kid; he loved fart jokes and asked the most random questions about everything under the sun, but he was also so sweet with his beloved pets and Dylan's kitten, Mr. Noodles. As for the Brodie brothers, I enjoyed their hilarious text exchanges and the way they teased each other, though it remained obvious how much they loved and supported each other. I look forward to more interactions between them in the next book.
Overall, I loved "Attachment Theory" even more than the first book in the series and highly recommend it for all romantic comedy fans. I can't wait to get my hands on book #3!

About "Attachment Theory"
An actor, a model, and a younger man walk into a therapist’s office… They’re all Dylan Brodie. It’s only funny if you aren’t the single mom therapist he can’t stop flirting with.
Dear Mr. Brodie,
I hope this email finds you well.
Your well-being and personal growth are of the utmost importance to me, as a therapist.
As such, I have decided it is in your best interest to continue individual therapy with another practitioner.
This is due to the potential for boundaries being crossed between us.
Attached is a list of colleagues I would recommend for you.
Sincerely,
Scarlett Shepard, MS, MFT
Dear Scarlett,
Cool.
Consider our sessions terminated.
Now I can tell you how beautiful you are and how attracted I am to you.
Let’s start crossing boundaries over dinner tonight.
You’ll say it would be unethical, and I’ll point out that we’ve only had a few sessions.
You’ll cite the age difference, and I’ll tell you how hot it is that you’re six years older than me.
You’ll say you’re a mom, and I’ll remind you that I think your son is awesome.
We don’t have to discuss my former attachments to former co-stars ever again.
This is due to the fact that clearly my only personality issue is that I’m irresistible.
Yours in well-being and personal growth,
Dylan Brodie, W.M.H.T.A.T.Y.E.H. (Way More Handsome and Talented Actor Than Your Ex-Husband)
