“Love is for better or worse. It’s always and no matter what. The no-matter-what just happened for us first.”

Maid of honor, Kristen, and Best man, Josh, meet in an unconventional way where sparks fly. The more they seem to fall for each other... and they could be perfect together...but there are some problems. Josh? Well, he wants a baseball team full of kids. Kirsten? Well, she is struggling with things Josh has no idea about, like a needed medical surgery, which will make it impossible for her to have kids. Kirsten is determined to keep him in the friend zone for his own good...and hers...but it may be too late...for both of them.

Okay. Wow. I loved this book. Why? Let me list the reasons.

It was raw about some very tough issues surrounding infertility and relationships.

It was funny as hell, around and sometimes through the truly heartbreaking moments.

It was beautiful. The love story and friendships inside of it made my heart so happy and I couldn’t put it down once I started.

It had everything: tough topics, hilarious character interactions, strong character development, and great story telling.

Kristen is honest and says what she thinks always. Josh is sweet and gives it as good as he gets it. And some of the other characters? Can’t even get into it because of the post character count.

BUT REALLY! This book 😭💕

There were times I couldn’t stop laughing and smiling while I was reading to the point my cheeks hurt and there were points I wanted to sit there and cry.

This book, could be very triggering to some so please check my content warnings at the bottom, but if the triggers are okay I HIGHLY recommend this to people who enjoy romance, but also like to be taken on a rollercoaster of emotions.

PS Make sure to read the author’s note at the end when done.
