Let's Pretend This Will Work by Maddie Dawson
4.75
emotional funny inspiring medium-paced

I loved going on this journey of Mimi's many ups and downs as she navigates love and work and friendships in the wild ride. 

When her guy proposes but then his ex is involved in an accident the same day... Mimi's world gets turned upside down. Suddenly he's back with his family helping them navigate this medical issue and seemingly has no time for her (except at nights and for love making). 

I really liked that she found this VERY unconventional co-op daycare situation when she uproots to follow her fiance to a new city. The people there are so quirky and loveable. Jaime and his daughter Alice take up space in her life and heart and really help her realize what she wants. 

Sometimes this book was just messy (in a good way!) but so is life and it felt so real and I just wanted to jump in and hug Mimi!
