As always, Cristina Lauren delivers on the romance elements. The sex scenes are great (for the most part, but we'll touch on that in a second) and Josh and Hazel's chemistry is palpable.
However, there is a glaring issue I have with this book. There is only one romance trope I truly hate, and that is accidental pregnancy. And what does this book have? Accidental. Fucking. Pregnancy. Josh and Hazel have unprotected sex once, which I wasn't thrilled by, but I put it off because there were no mentions of it later. And then Hazel gets a "stomach bug". And then she realizes she hasn't had her period in two months. And then she realizes she's pregnant. And then Josh comes over and they sleep together and they say they're going to talk about maybe starting a real relationship. And then he finds her ultrasound. And then he decides he'll stay with her. And then the epilogue is about her and Josh and their kids.
Seriously? He doesn't even agree to date her until after he realizes he knocked her up. And this is supposed to be a romantic decision? It's not. It's an obligation and I hate it. If you like the trope, you'll probably like this book. But otherwise, I'd pick up literally anything else by Christina Lauren.

I absolutely devoured this book. I liked Unhoneymooners, but I ADORE this one!!
Josh and Hazel are both perfect. Both as standalones and together. I honestly laughed out loud reading this more than I have with any other book. It is truly a rom-com.
I can't wait to read this one again and again and again π
