I picked up A Life Unplanned because I was hooked by a meet cute at comic con. I am not a huge romance reader, but I enjoy romance books with additional elements. 

 

However, A Life Unplanned is only partially a romance book. Don’t get me wrong, there is spice, a fair bit of it throughout the entire novel. There is also a meet cute and Insta love and a whole romantic setup. Except the novel does not end there. It takes you through a good portion of Theo and Sadie life together. In addition, there is a bit of a mystery and interesting extended family dynamics. 

 

Be warned that infertility is a big part of this book, so be cautious if that is a trigger. 

 

Even though this is not something I would normally gravitate to I enjoyed the story. It was a bit disconcerting with the change in pov between characters and third and first person, but it was an interesting choice. I also personally could have gone for some more geekiness, especially in the middle of the novel, but I think the start and end was great for geek culture.
