The plotting pace was decent and I enjoyed the MCs worked up to a sexual relationship before just going there given the single parent status and her constant inner monolog about being judged for being a teen mom and divorced. 
That said, given there was some workplace SA scenes, I thought the author skipped over really addressing that both with the MCs, her supporting workplace relationships, and just generally overall for the MFC. It read clunky and just a throw away plot gimmick without flushing out the finer details for all involved. Her dad knows the owner, yet not even a peep about this POS between them? Ok...

I saw this book on a couple of other blogs and downloaded it right away. It got lost in the depths of my Kindle for a while. I'm so mad I didn't read it right away because I really enjoyed it. The writing was fantastic. The story was the right amount of emotional and uplifting without being overly angsty. There were even some laughs. The characters were fantastic. I loved Madison, the way she cared for her son, and her resilience. Garrett was more of a mystery without his POV, but I love how he came across in relation to his relationships with Madison and Jamie. There were so many great moments between them all. I loved their love. There were some heavy topics and triggers, so make sure to read the warning at the beginning of the book if you're considering reading it.

i cried, i laughed throughout, and i was HOT. holy cow. this truly is the best book i’ve read in so long. truly tessa bailey tier for me. i’m absolutely rabid for more. oh my god. this isn’t a well put together review but i cannot form words of how much i adore this book. from the sketches of the apartments, the amazing characters & their development, the lighthearted moments perfectly placed to break up the darker more intense scenes, the smut (don’t talk to me i’m boiling hot and in need of about 14 cold showers). this book is such a good time, a heartwarming journey of motherhood, growth and love. 12/10 always
