This was a surprisingly great book.

I started reading it because 1.) I could (I didn't have a stupidly huge TBR with stupidly strict scheduling and 2.) it sounded refreshing, where instead of the guy chasing the girl, it might have been the other way around.

While I didn't really get the second part of the reason, I am very happy with the book I did get.

I had some problems with the book initially. Justin bothered me a little and I didn't think the writing was good enough. Both of those things got a lot better as the book progressed.

Amelia also bothered at moments but not much. I actually really liked the characters of the book. They were unexpectedly mature. It felt so good watching two adults actually act like adults. There were times when the characters were about to do something stupid but the author didn't let them, like she didn't want the usual tropes lurking around in her book. I love her for that.

When we were almost halfway through, the book took a direction that I hadn't expected and I was a bit miffed about it because that wasn't the book I sighed up for. But I realized that the direction was really good for the book because, for me, the last half was amazing. Especially the ending. I loved it. So much. It was perfect.

When the book ended, I was like



I was so upset when it ended because I wanted to keep reading about these characters and this story. Not in a I-wanna-know-what-happens-next way, but because I genuinely enjoyed reading it. I don't remember the last time that happened.

Overall, this was a great book and I highly recommed it. Definitely will be reading more by this author.

P.S. This book is so much better than it's name and cover. I wish they were different.

Not really what I expected, the MC could have done so much better. I couldn’t stand Jayden, Jordan, Jackson or whatever his name was. I can’t even remember what I liked about this story that I ended up giving it 2/5

I really really liked this! It was a 5⭐️ for me until spoiler alert, one of my least fav tropes, pregnancy, showed up. This book was short and an easy read, the writing is good and the the point, while still drawing you in on an emotional level. This book was deeper than I thought it’d be! I loved Amelia and Justin’s relationship and friendship. The build up was slow but perfect. And some of Justin’s lines, so good!! I didn’t love all the stuff about the breast milk and all that, I found that weird, and the whole pregnancy thing in general, but I understand how it fits into the story.

Wow this books had some serious tropes. It was almost over kill with the amount of tropes that were in one book. I won’t lie it also scared me that the H/h we’re going to cross some lines, but thankfully that didn’t happen.

Tropes that I can remember: Second Chance, Hate to Love, Love Triangle (no cheating), Surprise pregnancy, Rockstar, Miscommunication

This was not at all what I expected it to be but I loved it all the same. I cried so many time because I have a baby girl and the story line just hit me in the feels.
