Beautiful Beloved by Christina Lauren

i really enjoyed this! it was a nice quick read, only about 100 pages. hot take—i love the pregnancy & parenthood trope! it’s so cute to see my favorite character’s maternal instincts kick in and develop.

max got so much better in this novella. like i was worried but he’s normal now. anywho, i loved seeing him as a dad. i didn’t expect him to be a good dad, but i was incorrect. he loves annabelle so much.

sara was really amazing in this book! she was so dedicated to her baby and i loved seeing her be so ‘motherly’? is that even a word? i don’t know but you get the point. she’s way better in this book too.

this is a solid 4 star read! i loved this a lot and it is definitely in my top three novellas in this series so far.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5

'Beloved' explores what it means to be a couple after you have kids. It's nice to see Max and Sara doing whatever it takes to reconnect and feel like they're right for each other again. But, well... I couldn't connect with the characters this time. For me, there was still something missing.

I loved this! It reminded me how happy I was when I realized my kids were heavy sleepers. This was a sweet short story about Max & Sarah finding their way back to each other after their baby was born. It was funny & relatable.

I love getting these glimpses of the gang hanging out and living their lives post-coupling but this just wasn’t for me
