•  contemporary fictional romcom & final installment
• first-person dual POV of love interests
• Friends-to-lovers, nextdoor-neighbor, opposites-attract, & mega strong messaging of be-grateful-for-your-life story set in Minnesota
• FMC travel YouTube blogger/influencer Vanessa
• MMC lawyer Adrian (went on a date with Sloan in the last book) // Vanessa is fostering her younger sister’s baby, since her younger sister Annabel is struggling with addiction
• Adrian knocks on her door to ask her to quiet the baby down but they end up becoming friends
• Adrian is dumped by his girlfriend of eight months, after telling him she was married
• Cameos from previous series characters, much to my chagrin because FOUR KIDS?! REALLY, FOUR KIDS?! WITH THAT MEDICAL HISTORY?! LITERALLY FORK OFF
• Really dislike the making fun of “micro penises” & “nothing is that deep” mentality in here 😭
• cw: terminal illness, chronic illness (ALS), addiction, drug abuse, abandonment, mental illness, panic attacks/disorders, hoarding
• steam 1/5

I finished this book in a day. A DAY. The ending did feel a little rushed to me, but I loved Vanessa and Adrian’s dynamic. I’d also be a sucker for a man stepping into a father role for a baby that’s not his. While I do think that Adrian crossed a line with the third act breakup, I understood it. I understood both their perspectives.
