Oh god...j'ai trouvé ce livre si fâchant. L'histoire tourne principalement autour d'un manque de communication entre les deux personnages principaux et se termine par une tragédie...j'ai beaucoup plus apprécié le deuxième livre de la série. Tout au long du roman je ne me répétais qu'une chose : mais parlez vous bon sang! Bref à éviter si la trope de la «miscommunication» vous irrite.

There were a few things that drove me crazy such as the miscommunication trope and I wish Kristen didn't string along her first boyfriend. I know she was trying to find her happiness with the cards she was dealt, but it doesn't mean you stop using your voice.

However I did love her friendship with Sloan and I loved Josh's friendship with Sloan's fiancee. The found family feeling of the firehouse in general.

The character arcs and growth did take a bit to get there but it when they did, I was proud of them. 

The author's note did raise my rating because I feel you deserve to know you are not alone in your diagnoses or journey.

Loved the MMC. The FMC got on my nerves sooooo much! I needed her to allow the other person in the “relationship” to make an informed decision instead of making it for them. If it hadn’t been for that, I would have rated this higher.

This is my original review from when I first read the paperpack:

This book started out light and funny and cute. Then it got deep. I couldn't put it down. Then I finished it and it made me moody and sad because lots of it hit way too close to home. Had I known some of the triggers would I have avoided reading it? Maybe. But maybe not. Sometimes we need to read the hard books. Sometimes we need to read the books that make us cry.

DNFed at 27%. 

✨she’s not like other girls, she’s worse ✨ 

I could see where the story was going with a miracle pregnancy angle, and I really disliked that with her infertility storyline. I also couldn’t hear one more time how she was “not like other girls” - it made it feel like it was written by a 17-year old boy. I enjoyed her other series but this one isn’t for me.

This broke my heart and didn’t really give the HEA that I needed as expecting from a romance book.
