Next of Kin by Hannah Bonam-Young
3.0

I liked this, but I just felt like something was missing from it. I enjoyed the co-parenting, and the healthy communication and relationship between the two main characters, and I also enjoyed the friendships the heroine has in here. I also liked the siblings that our hero and heroine are fostering. But again, something just felt missing for me. I felt like the plot was moving too fast, and the characters weren’t fleshed out enough for my taste.

But, this wasn’t a bad story at all. It was a nice palate cleanser, and a very quick read. It just wasn’t the best romance I’ve ever read. I feel like if this was longer, and spent longer building on personal character growth & pacing I probably would have enjoyed this a little more. Not terrible though, just pretty middle of the road.
