I absolutely loved the back and forth banter between characters. I loved how relatable this story was and how it can resonate with anyone experiencing infertility. I am not personally effected by infertility, to my knowledge, but it’s always on my mind especially as I get older. I feel like I would be following in Kristen’s shoes in that I would hate to ever be with someone who expects to have their own biological children and then wind up not being able to and constantly feeling like they are settling for you. This can cause quite the trauma and make you feel worse for not being able to carry children on your own. The ending had me sobbing and feeling all the feels. I wasn’t planning on crying but here we are and I loved the entire story.

leaned too far into the “not like other girls” trope,
i really felt it was SO unnecessary that brandon ended up dying that just ripped my heart out for no reason and i kinda hated it

Wow! I have just met the MOST stubborn FMC I’ve ever read so far! Loved this one on so many levels. Aside from wanting to shake Kristen, I loved the chronic illness representation here and the rawness of grief and how it was represented as well. Josh was an incredible MMC! Seriously someone grant that man sainthood already! Abby Jimenez is definitely making her way to auto-read status as an author for me!
