I struggled with this one. As always with Abby Jimenez’s books, the writing and characters were terrific and I liked the look at infertility. But I really hate friends with benefits situations - someone is always heartbroken and feels used, excusing the situation as taking whatever they can get when the other won’t love them enough to meet them or let them go and instead keeps them in limbo. Really frustrating. The ending was good but not enough for me to not have a bad taste in my mouth on the rest.
