I have never felt more seen by a line from a book than this one: "Everybody had better stop touching me or I'm going to start spin-kicking well-meaning men."

Firstly, if pregnancy is a difficult topic for you to read about, I would skip this one. Also, if you don't like to read about pregnancy, I'd skip this, but I can't believe I wasn't going to read it! It's advertised as a slow-burn, which I'm not a fan of, so I was going to skip it. But then I kept seeing good reviews for it, and let me just say that I'm so glad I picked it as one of my Book of the Month choices this month! All the characters were mature and self-aware and had depth. I loved the banter between Eve and Shep, and I also loved Eve and Willa's friendship. I want to go to a dog bar! It sounds amazing. And I loved the found family aspect. I can't wait to read more by the author! This will be one of my favourites of the year. 

Protect Shep at all costs!
