I thought this book was absolutely amazing! I am not sure why there are such negative reviews on this book as I blew through it. I read it on my Kindle and was at 47% the first night and had to force myself at midnight to put the book down. I then finished it the very next day. I loved that it was based on the author's friend who went through the struggles of infertility just as the main character did.

I did enjoy the back and forth banter between Kristen & Josh, the heartache of Sloan's relationship ending, but also the true and raw emotion that was portrayed throughout the book.

I was laughing and crying in parts and did not want to finish the book, because it was so good. I have already reserved the second book to find out what happens with Sloan.

Overall a pretty classic rom-com read. I love the character growth and the journey to Josh and Kristen.

I saw someone write that Kristen’s toxic trait was making decisions for others and it was beyond true and insanely frustrating. I think this book would have been good (still frustrating at times and incredibly sad at others). Except for the Tyler arc. I didn’t mind the Tyler as a device for her to realize she was settling. But even if she didn’t cross a physical line, it was super messed up that the beginning of the book was her falling in love with another man while she still had a boyfriend. That honestly ruined the book for me.

Kristen’s toxic trait is that she thinks she should be making other people’s decisions.

I loved how the book started. I enjoyed Kristen’s bluntness and snarkiness. I love how her and Josh clicked. It seemed very authentic, but then things started going downhill.

Kristen was absolutely exhausting. At one point, I literally hated her.

Also, I really imagined the book being a little bit lighter; I t
was under the impression that K&J were going to be thrown into wedding planning WAY more together and we would see some fun, light, playful, and maybe awkward scenes. But wedding planning was almost non existent. If anything, I’d say that K&J are “thrown into a situation where Kristen ends up being Josh’s boss, and they just can’t avoid blurring professional lines!” (Juk juk juk juk juk!)

The book gets incredibly heavy and I hated that as well (too much ptsd for me). The ending was predictable but I 100% knew what Abby Jimenez’s true message was that wasn’t plot related. So cheers to Ms Jimenez.

While I loved the story overall, the FMC was withholding a significant issue in her life from the MMC. It put him through a lot of heartache, and her selfish reasons got to be tedious. I'm not a fan of the miscommunication trope. I was glad when she finally revealed her issue, and they were able to resolve/address it together. I enjoyed the story but didn't care for the FMC.
