I loved and hated this book. I loved the highs that Alec could take Laura to and the fact that he was respectful about her being the one to decide his role in Jack's life. I hate his mother for hiding this from him and his dad for agreeing to keep the secret. I understand their reasoning but that reasoning led to trauma on either side of the aisle so it does not excuse their actions. I also hated the coach and was glad he got what was coming to him in the end. I should have known how much this book would emotionally wreck me considering the playlist at the start had Alessia Cara and Rosie Darling on it. Those are the sad girl tunes. Jack was truly a joy and the childhood innocence he was allowed to keep the entire book was incredible to read about. The author making a point about childhood friendships and the societal pressure put on them unnecessarily at times was great. I did think it was a bit much considering he was 5 to be discussing it in the way she did but I understood the point and agree with her arguments. Alec was an incredible lover and took his time to get to know Laura again instead of assuming he still knew everything about her but still remembered her old habits and preferences. Overall, a fantastic book and I was grateful to see the representation of platonically raising a child with your best friends instead of a romantic partner. This book made me laugh, cry and scream.

hmmm.... this was quick and the plot was a bit out there in my mind.
without you knowing the backstory you get to see excepts from letters that Alec and Laura wrote to each other when they were in a relationship at 16. One of those is a letter from Laura to Alec tell him she's pregnant but that she's ok without him if he doesn't want to be a part of their lives. WTF? But he apparently never gets the letter.. Laura doesn't know that.
I have so many questions... did he completely leave the area? what about his parents? how did no one connect that she was pregnant and give old Alec the heads up?
When he inevitably does find out it's all smoothed over too quickly.
I guess it's a good thing that Laura has good friends because she sure treats them like the help. She is constantly leave her son with their male roommate at a moments notice and then yelling at him when he has to make valid parenting decisions. She treats the female roommate like a personal dresser.
And dont get me started on the teachers conference what kind of unhinged conversation was that... from the teacher and student perspective and to do it in front of the child??? wtf?
This was quickly written and not very well thought out. I've read this fanfiction before and others have written it better.

I wasn't the right audience for this book, but I thought I'd give it a try anyway. Regular romance lovers would probably enjoy it.

2 estrellas porque me agrado el niño, y porque pense que leer mas de madres solteras podia hacer las cosas diferentes pero la verdad es que no hay mucho desarrollo, creo que las problematicas que existen ni siquiera se resuelven o pierden importancia porque el protagonista quiere acostarse con la mamá de su hijo

This had potential to be deliciously angsty, but fell a bit flat with how neatly and quickly everyhthign got resolved along the way.
