This book was SO SWEET!! Loved the disability rep, and Win and Bo’s relationship was just wonderful. The ending was a little too perfect but I couldn’t help but giggle and kick my feet. Kudos to Hannah for writing an accidental pregnancy trope that makes a really well-written story!

Look at me reading yet another unplanned pregnancy romance and enjoying it. I must say, the bedroom scenes went beyond my comfort level in this one, but perhaps I don't hate this trope after all.
There is nothing better than opening a book and having it feel like a winner from chapter one! Hannah Bonam-Young took two complete strangers at a Halloween party and instantly created the most nerdy, tender, smile-inducing chemistry. I was listening to my audiobook with heart eyes.
I adored these characters. It was amazing to see such eager support from Bo. He didn't give it a second thought. Their slow-burn romance was so soft, so deeply romantic. The loveliest example of a healthy, unproblematic relationship.
The emotional moments really snuck up on me! I loved having the pregnancy force Win and Bo to acknowledge their insecurities, communicate through them, and create the most beautiful fresh start together. Very much enjoyed this one!

THE GOOD: I loved the disability representation in this. I loved that Bo was attentive and sympathetic even though he didn't understand what Win was going through. I loved Sarah and Caleb and their friendship with Win and the banter between all the characters was so good. And I loved that the book was set in Canada. I really liked the epilogue, too.
THE BAD: The story is only told from Win's POV and I feel like it would have been even better if we had Bo's POV, too. I also felt that the middle dragged a bit.
Favourite quote: "You are my soul's purpose, Win. To know you, to love you, to build a family with you, to spend every day taking care of you, to watch you shine and get all the good things you deserve out of this life."

Bo and Win meet at a friend’s Halloween party. Both are dressed as pirates, one with a wooden leg and one with an hook for a hand, a nod to their respective limb differences. They have what is meant to be a one night stand. However, an accidental pregnancy results. I loved the mature way they handled this, the way Bo was determined to support Win but on her terms. I thought their limb differences - his due to cancer and hers since birth - were well integrated into the plot, showing how both characters worked with and around their disabilities rather than being limited by them. Win’s fears about how she would manage the baby care felt realistic. I also loved their friends, the way Win worked towards a career goal with Bo’s support, their banter, and the steam - mostly. A couple of times it did feel a little cringey. When I picked this up I was after something fun and light but with some substance and this book delivered.

Oh my god. Bo. That’s it. That’s the tweet. I am obsessed with these two. This book is sweeter than candy and I ate it the fuck up.
