Opposites Attract

I liked the premise for insta-hate that, through no fault of her own, generated the H's antipathy toward the h. The cute premise of opposite professions in the same building–clever.
However: I desire more reality in my contemporary fiction. Are the ethics of a counselor so different from mine as a school teacher that taking someone else's teen on long road trips alone is ok by all parties?!? Take mum along, then leave her at the hotel while the confrontation with dad happens, at least!! Also, the teen grandkid was raised partly by her grandparents and they are no where in the picture and that seems really unrealistic. Our no-exercise lawyer manages to pull a taller-than-she man up while he dangles from a fire escape?!? Has no one tried do to pull-ups? This is unlikely in the extreme! Not to mention the adrenaline that would make him too shakey to venture out again on to a ledge. Yeah: no.
