  子育て読本だった
  It was a child-rearing book
  ヒロインマリッサは出来すぎ。秒単位で１日のスケジュールを立ててこなすという超人。彼女の休憩は、彼女の父親から自堕落と責められ 根底には強迫観念の帰来がある。これは キチンとする のに大切な手段のひとつとも考えられるが、それは子供に影響を与えないだろうか、子供は大人が考えているほど鈍感ではないのだからと、本筋でない方へ意識は向いてしまう。色々と波及効果を見受けられる物語だけれど、ＨＱとしての大人の関係も シングルの子育て学習も中途半端でもったいない。ヒーローアレクが一般的なシングルファーザーなのにマリッサのせいで とぼけたキャラに見えてしまう。が、離婚という憂き目に遭って養育費を受け取っていても 支援なくシングルの子育ての大変さは伝わる。その中で懸命に前を向いていくマリッサの姿勢は素晴らしいし、アレクも妻を亡くした悲しみに暮れる暇なく子育てしなければならないその気の毒さも伝わるし、自分の子供時代を娘に重ねて 愛情をもって成長に寄り添いたい気持ちが伝わるが、重さは伝わらない。子育てという共通項による意気投合した２人の物語と読めるぶん、子育て終了後の２人の未来には 何を絆としてお互いを認め合うかという価値観が見られず、ただ今を やり過ごした物語になっている印象だ。

  The heroine Marissa is too good. A superhuman who makes a schedule for the day in seconds and gets it done. Her break was blamed by her father for self-depravity, and at the root is the return of obsessive thoughts. This can also be thought of as one of the important means to get fit, but I wonder if it will affect children, and since children are not as insensitive as adults think, they will turn their consciousness towards those who are not serious. It's a story where various ripple effects can be seen, but both adult relationships as HQ and single child-rearing learning are a waste of halfway. Even though the hero Alec is a typical single father, it looks like a blurry character because of Marissa. However, it is conveyed how difficult it is to raise a single child without support even if they are faced with the grief of divorce and receive child support. Among them, the attitude of Marissa, who works hard to look forward, is wonderful, and it also conveys the feeling that Alex has to raise children without time to lose the grief of losing his wife, and it conveys the feeling that she wants to stay close to her growth with love by layering her childhood on her daughter, but the weight is not conveyed. It can be read as a story of two people who hit it off due to the common denominator of raising children, and I have the impression that it is a story where the values of what bonds they recognize each other in the future after the end of raising children are not seen, and it is a story that has gone through the present.
