3.5 stars

There’s just something about a book when the character or characters also love books! I think that’s one of my favorite things about this book. Becca loved her romance novels.

This was a great book to pick up to break up all the fantasies I have been reading. It’s light, fun and fluffy. Definitely a really fast read. This book does talk heavily about divorce and has a lot of focus on family, which is great.

There is one part of this book that literally broke my heart! Ugh, I don’t know if it’s because I have a kid now or what. I just don’t understand how a parent could want nothing to do with their child.

The romance in this book was cute and fun. I always love a fake dating to real dating story. I mean, you always know that’s what is going to happen. I did think that this story could have actually been a bit longer. It’s a short book but with everything that happens, the ending felt really rushed.

Was this anything really ground breaking? No. But if you want a cute read, this is a good choice. I also think it would be great to get out of a slump because it’s a really fast read.
