I had to get that out before the actual review. I firs thought this a little bit more than halfway through the book, and once it was there it STUCK. And the last few chapters only solidified it for me. Throuple throuple throuple.
NOW. I will admit that at first the book didn't hook me in, but once the hook caught me, I literally couldn't put it down. The main cast of characters on the page were so charming in their own ways, even during the less than ideal times. And this is so random, but their names just fit them so well? Like, I couldn't imagine them having any other name than the one Cara Bastone chose, and normally I don't notice these things but somehow it stuck out for this book.
Abother random thought: I kinda wish we got more of the brothers! Eve's family history is so interesting, and even though we only got them on page for a little bit, they were still intriguing and had their own personalities.
Eve was such a good read, even though at first I thought she was trying too hard with the wittiness. She eventually became just this girl you couldn't help but root for, so reliable. Ethan, too, you just can't help but want the best for that guy. You want to hate him out of sheer tropey-ness but he's so well written you just can't.
And SHEP. Oh my god, I want a real life Shep! He's so earnest and kind and patient and lovable and tall and golden retriever coded that I wanted to cuteness agression shake him and scream. Where can I find a real life Shep!!!!!

The circumstances around Eve’s pregnancy—best friend with infertility issues, the big age gap between Eve and her brothers, the one night stand of it all—mean that it’s hard for her, at first, to find the support she needs. The only person who seems to be in her corner from day one is Shep. In terms of book boyfriends, Shep was adorable and I loved so much of his friendly personality.
One major irk with this novel for me, was just how blasé Eve felt like she was taking this pregnancy. Obviously she was stressed about it, but for a long time she had an inability to think about the baby as a real person and wasn’t making any major life changes (housing, income) in order to accommodate for said baby.
