Love love love. I read about 90% of this with my eyes and then finished off with the audiobook. Eve was charming. Shep has golden retriever energy.
Accidental pregnancy books can be hit or miss but I throughly enjoyed this one.

Ohhhh, this was supremely lovely. Itโs about love in all its forms, from romantic to platonic to parental. I adore Shep, and everything he is, and I adore Eveโs journey throughout this book. Pregnancy and growing into the person you want to be are both really hard, so it was amazing watching Eve do both at the same time. A truly wonderful book that I wonโt hesitate to recommend.

Wow....I went on a journey with this book. I went from being iffy on the MCs to not wanting their story to end by the time I finished ๐ฅน I officially think surprise pregnancy is an amazing trope if done right and Cara Bastone did a fantastic job with this book and handled a delicate situationโwhere the baby isn't the MMC'sโperfectly.
Eve's personality and inner dialogue was so fun to listen to. Alex Finke did an amazing job and I highly recommend the audiobook! I loved that we were immersed into her mindset and saw first hand her fears of being alone while raising a baby.
Childhood friends to lovers isn't usually my favorite but I think what made this work was the slow burn aaand, of course, SHEP. BALDER. At first, I just thought of him as the extremely friendly older brother, but he slowly and gradually made me fall for him the same as Eve. What sold it for me was the bike (iykyk). He was such a refreshing character to read. He's a golden retriever and cinnamon roll all in one. He's 'other-centered', doesn't have a selfish or jealous bone in his body and all of his decisions and actions are made with Eve in his mind. He goes above and beyond for her and the baby because he's just the BEST.
If you're like me and can't deal with love triangles, and think this is going to be one, it's NOT! Ethan, the baby daddy, was such a likeable character and I couldn't help but just want him to be happy.
The only con about this book was that I would've really wanted to read an epilogue, or a X years later chapter. I got so sad as I was nearing the end! I just really didn't want to finish this book!
Ready or Not is a story about finding love in the most unexpected places & it's definitely become a new favorite romance of mine.

A beautiful love letter to the baffling journey that is pregnancy and the ways in which it changes you, your life, and how you view the world. You root for Eve as she grows in character as well as belly size and end up loving everyone in the story.
