The miscommunication trope is annoying, but in this book I feel like it’s real. This form of miscommunication and shutting down happens so often in relationships. I also enjoyed how the over came being child free. It shows that love should be greater than children, and as a child free person I appreciate that a lot. This book had me feeling lots of emotions, and was an enjoyable read

this could've been more stars for me especially the last 100 or so pages but for some situations I was so angry at the way they were dealt with and some comments were totally unnecessary, like:
the pregnancy stuff, I get it was central to the book but I didnt think it was discussed in the most understanding way, some of it was really blunt and the way the characters dealt with it was in some places really immature, which took away the realness of it for me. the infertility stuff was a bit triggering as well and I didnt like the way it was handled
family relationships should've been written in a more considerate way, especially when its really close family members
that comment at the start about how they shouldn't adopt because they would be raising someone else's kid who might have problems?!?! like who tf says that?!?!?
apart from these things the plot, storyline and characters were all really good so I'm a bit conflicted on what to rate it

I thought I could burn through this as a chance to tackle my physical tbr, but the reality is that I’m just done with Colleen Hoover. I’m not interested in her brand of emotional manipulation right now, and even though this may be the most mature book she’s written, it’s still too much for me. And I can’t get over the fact that in the first 40 or so pages, I got the entire conflict. What else was there to struggle through for the next couple hundred? I just know it would’ve felt drawn out and contrived, and I’m not in the headspace for that right now. Well, at least I can say I tried?
