This was way longer than it needed to be. Overly repetitive. Ended up skimming sections caused I got sick of reading "we can't be together". Kristen is very annoying & self serving. Not one of Abby's best works. If I'd read this one first I wouldn't read anymore of her stuff.

Once again this one had me till the last 30%. Especially after reading the author’s note at the end, I get what she was trying to do - but my goodness it was just too much all at once for the ending.

I want to love this. I was prepared to love this. But the FMC was exhausting. How hard is it to be upfront and have a fucking adult conversation?! I also didn't enjoy how the author wrote Kristen to act like infertility made her a freak or not a woman. And how she was CONSTANTLY gaslighting Josh. He's gotta be the world's most patient man.

I would have liked to see them adopt or another option that is so real for thousands of women. But surprise pregnancy it was.

It’s funny having read these books out of order and knowing where Kristen and Josh ended up. Even with that knowledge, this book was adorable and heartfelt and sad in the way Abby Jimenez always crafts her stories.
