Lizzie Blake’s Best Mistake is a quirky, chaotic, and joyful story. Lizzie is a creative baker who struggles to manage how ADHD impacts her life. While she is routinely labeled as “lazy,” Lizzie simply has a difficult time taking her meds and staying on time. When Lizzie meets a sexy Australian named Rake, they have a fantastic time together. Two weeks later, Lizzie takes a pregnancy test after intense nausea. Lizzie must choose how she wants to proceed and try to track down Rake. Can someone who’s always been told she can’t do anything right handle this latest twist?  

I really enjoyed Mazey Eddings’ writing, she has a very funny and vivid way of setting the scenes. However, I learned that the “accidental pregnancy” trope is not really one I enjoy. This would have stressed me out so much in real life, that I struggled to relax. I did try to stay open to it though and I think Mazey definitely pulled it off. I loved the ADHD rep and how Lizzie deals with toxic family members who do not understand or accept neurodivergence. Lizzie is filled with sunshine and I loved seeing her grow in confidence and agency. I also appreciated all the little nods to romance authors throughout the books! 

Thank you to Mazey Eddings, St. Martin’s Griffin, and Netgalley for a free ARC in exchange for an honest review.
