though i don’t like the crazy exes trope nor do i like unplanned pregnancies in books, i absolutely LOVED devyn and joseph’s relationship. their chemistry was flying the moment i opened up the book. they were witty, funny, and flirtatious. they were also pretty healthy with their conversations about their relationship, whether it was physical or romantic.

i will say i didn’t like the comparison of joseph’s teasing behavior to school yard boys picking on a girl because they ‘like’ them. though i know in this setting it was to be lighthearted, it’s harmful rhetoric and he’s grown, if you’re attracted to someone, say that!
