I absolutely adored this book! I’m not usually a first person POV person, but Hannah does it SO well that I don’t even miss the second persons perspective.

Win is such a relatable FMC. I love her sass, how she’s fiercely independent, and how she’s just so real and upfront about her insecurities. I also appreciated how some went away as the story went on, but some did not. I liked how realistic it is and that some things just stick with us for a while- even when we find someone who loves us for who we are.

And Bo- oh my goodness he is such a sweet guy. His touch of nerdiness (the “I’m having a baby with a Lord of the Rings virgin” had me cackling), his thoughtful gestures & how he just kept showing up for Win, even when she tried to push him away, showed his deep love for her throughout.

I highly recommend picking this book up when it re-releases in just a couple of weeks! I know I’ll be getting my physical copy ASAP 🤍

I just loved this book. It's so earnest, sweet, and touching. I'm usually not a fan of the trope of surprise pregnancy or one-night-stand turned pregnancy, but I thought it was handled really well and made a lot of sense. The chemistry between Win and Bo is immediate - it's not easy to write a compelling and believable first-night stand that is actually sexy, and Bonam-Young really pulls it off - and the slow falling in love is really lovely. I also appreciated the care with which Bonam-Young addressed how both Win and Bo responded to the surprise pregnancy; there was a discussion of options, space for all the emotions they might feel, and a realistic approach to the inherent logistics. This book didn't shy away from hard topics, but was just brimming with love. I can't wait to read her other books!

A feel good romance (with an adequate amount of grade A spice given the plot line) that just so happens to have disability rep the way I like it most (as a minor plot point that just enhances the depth of the characters) <3

This truly one of the most beautiful books i have ever read.

The authors note at the beginning explains it all, this is book is truly much more than a “pregnancy trope” or surprise pregnancy book.

Bo and Win are complex characters that teach so much about live and love, Win is incredible and Bo too.

The paragraphs about abortion rights, the uncomfortable side of disability, the conversations about motherly relationships, the reflections about women’s body’s and how we are raised to hate them….

Thank you Hannah for a such a wonderful trip! Read it, it’s worth it
