I found this book to be wayyy overhyped. I honestly didn't like it very much, which is saying something because I am usually a sucker for any type of friends to lovers trope. I found the romance to lack believability, especially once we learn the context of how long lasting Shep's feelings were. The premise of this sounded so fun and it started out that way, and then just went a little sideways. I felt disconnected from the characters, nobody directly communicated how they were feeling until the very end, and everything tied together with the most perfect bow that I found it a little unbelievable. I know many enjoyed this a lot, but it wasn't for me.

This is such a delightful, unexpected read. Warm and fuzzy in the best way with the sweetest slow burn romance. Definitely not your typical surprise baby romance

This was enjoyable but it didn't wow me. It felt much more women's fiction than romance. I did greatly enjoy Eve's pregnancy journey but the deep feelings in the romance that I was being told was there was not felt (at least by me). It was sweet but not wowing or swoon inducing. The audiobook was very well narrated, the voice actor put a lot of emotion and thoigh into how she portrayed all the characters. I also enjoyed thay Eve was basically narrating the story as a stream of consciousness.
