This book was an okay read. I would’ve like more Dylan and Cortney, we got so much of Beckett (who made me hella mad in this book). There are aspects of the accidental pregnancy trope that I love to see that weren’t in this book because of Beckett’s meddling

Book 2 in the Momcoms series did not disappoint. Jenni really gave hippy-dippy Dylan the perfect match in baseball player Courtney. Dylan is welcoming to whatever the universe gives her, so she simply rolls with the accidental pregnancy from her one-night stand with Courtney. And since he moves in, of course the only place to sleep is Dylan's tiny bed.

I really loved that Courtney was not your typical hero. He very clearly struggles with anxiety, and I loved seeing that representation in the series. Dylan has this innate ability to soothe his anxiety, which helps to bring them closer as her pregnancy progresses.

Of course, shenanigans ensue in the Momcom house. Liam does everything in his power to try to protect his mom and get rid of Courtney. This really shows us how much is relationship (or lack there of) has impacted his life. Liam and Dylan attending Courtney's baseball game was one of my favorite scenes.

Thank you to Blue Nose Audio for the opportunity to listen to the audiobook. Teddy was a great Courtney and I could just picture all the mentions of Courtney's man-bun. Maxine again elevated the story with her top notch variety of voices. If you are looking for a light-hearted accidental pregnancy with only one bed and sports, then this is the book for you. I really enjoyed it!

This is a reread for me and I liked it even better this time around! I feel like I understood Dylan's character more and I was rooting for her more this time around for some reason. I think her outlook on the world scared me the first time I read it, but now I respect and admire it. And Dylan and Courtney together? Forget about it! Literally the definition of two people matching each other's freak. They just absolutely get each other and understand each other on a different level, I feel like they don't even have to talk to each other. I love it! And this man?!?!?! Courtney is SOOOOOOO GOOD!! He is so protective but thoughtful and so enamored by Dylan I love to see him love her. I also loved the Bromance between Courtney and Beckett. They are each other's work husbands, and everyone talks about how they're an old married couple and how they bicker and fight but also work so well and I love seeing their relationship. What happens to them at the end, completely falls in line and makes perfect sense. I love it!

favorite book in the series so far, really loved these two. i will say i liked beckett way less than i did in the first one (like he was meddling a bit too much for my taste). loved his family and how they accepted her but almost wish they had explored that dynamic with liam a bit more

I loved all the momcom characters and getting to see them more while also getting to see Dylan and Courtney’s love story I can’t wait to read the next one to see Shay’s story!!

Yup- really glad I read this one. I LOVED IT. I found this entire concept hilarious. Now I have to read the next one.

I LOVED this book!

Dylan’s outlook on life is a breath of fresh air, and I think we should all channel that a little but more.

How Cortney compliments that is heart warming. Their chemistry is amazing & the spice
