Oh, this was such a a sweet story, really was surprised how much I loved it. I loved the character's voice and I loved the narrator, it really made the book so enjoyable.
I also appreciated the pregnant sex scenes. The author did such a good job making a pregnant woman more dimensional than just the bump.

This was so endearing and precious. It was a love story not just romance and seeing so many forms of love made my heart happy. I thought the “tropes” in this book were done well and I was surprised at how much I genuinely enjoyed reading this story and following literally every single characters stories🫶

It was all about her being pregnant, which doesn’t interest me. Not really a romance novel either.

🍼This book was so different! Ever since I was young, I’ve loved anything to do with babies and the process of pregnancy… I watched a LOT of TLC🤣 

🗽I liked that this book followed the FMC through all nine months of pregnancy and how conversational the tone of the writing was. I didn’t like some of the ideas that were pushed during certain scenes in a more political sense, but that comes down to personal preferences and beliefs. 

🍼My favorite quote from this book was: “This isn't all about me. It isnt all about Ethan, or Willa, or Shep, or even the baby. It's a web and —God, what a perfect system because each of us is somebody's favorite.”
