This was such a good read! The angst between the characters, the slow burn, and the character growth throughout the book were exactly what I enjoy. Very well written, easy to read, and gripping from beginning to end. Can't wait to read other books by this author!

Both Rowan and Delilah needed to develop a relationship with a therapist before they started a relationship with each other.
What Worked:
- Small town vibes.
- I liked that there was a focus on how taxing it can be (mentally,emotionally,etc.) to have a child. This paired well with the idea of establishing/finding a community for support.
What Didn’t Work:
- Where was the Single Dads Club?
- Nothing really happened in the book. It was filled with a lot of internal dialogue and conversations that all felt repetitive.

this was such a raw, emotional and in depth look at parenthood in my opinion. we always see the worries of a single parent in single parent tropes but i felt that this book went a layer deeper than I was expecting that I really enjoyed it. I always love a book where the two main characters fall in love on their day to day journey through life and this book did that so well. Really enjoyed both Rowan and Delilah, hoping this is gonna be a series with the rest of the dads!! Loved the friendships formed, they warmed my heart right up
This one had plenty of things I love in a romance - a sweet shy single dad, small town vibes, strong female main character - but I didn't really like how things played out in the story. I needed some more dialogue between our two main characters, Rowan and Delilah, to be convinced of their chemistry. I could tell they had all the moments and foundation to be a couple I would love, I just never was convinced because I felt I didn't see enough of them getting to know each other.
I had conflicting feeling on Rowan because I love a sweet, shy MMC but there were also a couple moments where I had a little bit of an ick. For example, he was mentally calling her "his woman" despite them only have a few surface level conversations at the time. He was a cutie with his son though and I appreciated his desire to be the best father he can be after having a bad relationship with his parents.
This book is full of sweet moments that will make you smile, but I think it could be a case of it just not working for me particularly. I loved the writing style and read it super quick, I was just a bit let down by the romance piece and abrupt ending.

Rowan and Delilah’s relationship is very unique as they’re both navigating a reroute in life. Major life changes along with trying to heal from parenting abandonment and rejection. They are prime examples of self sabotage.
I really feel like this could have been a much better story if not so slow. While the characters did have significant growth, the dragging out of the story really damped the lightheartedness. Along with the repetitive mentioning of their traumas.
