I really liked this book and the way it was written. My only complaint is that I don't think it should be labeled a romance, as that made me more disappointed in the ending than I would have been otherwise. But I can't hold that against the book itself, so I'm still giving it five stars. 

The writing reminded me a bit of Emily Austin's books, which I love. 

I just read this all in one sitting while nine weeks pregnant, and after having had a miscarriage a couple months ago. I cried a lot. A lot a lot. This book was beautiful and helpful and scary and I'm glad I read it. 

I would like to mention, as others have, that I do wish the author used less gendered language when talking about pregnant people and research on pregnancy. As a trans person, it doesn't feel great to read so much implying this only happens to women. But I know the author probably didn't mean it that was and it was just an oversight. I just wanted to mention it for the record, and so others have warning if they want to read this too. Personally I still loved this book, but I know it could be hard to read for other trans people.
