I enjoyed this much more than expected, and found it to be a lot more focused on grief and loss than anything else, which I found value in. The miscommunications and misunderstandings in this were the parts that lost me very easily, as well as the way certain characters were written, but overall, the message of second chances and finding what you want to do with your life were great parts of the story.

Strong character development: No

Loveable characters: No

the way this book acted like anyone who has given birth is suddenly immediately unsexy, unattractive and unappealing was a choice. additionally, the main character was constantly ready to call any woman she saw as more attractive than her as a “barbie with no brain and a plastic body” and more. the love interest was okay and the romance itself was *okay* and their dynamic would’ve been cuter if not for all this.
