Very cute second chance romance! The story kept me hooked the entire time, and the plot twist was very unexpected. I felt very connected to Matt and Grace’s love story and it was interesting to read a different type of romance that what I normally do.

I wanted to like this book and I went into it with very high expectations. I do like second chance romances, but this one made no sense to me
especially factoring in their LITERAL CHILD
. This very much reads like a product of hipster mid-2010s to me and I understand why some people might like it.

Wow this second chance romance story is just amazing. Wasn’t expecting the twist towards the end such an emotional story which ended with a great happy ending

The first part of this book was amazing, I thought it would be 5 stars, and I was actually enjoying it a lot until page 231!!! but then things started to go downhill and I hated it so so much. Dan and his relationship with Grace creeped me out so much,
  and the fact that they got married??? Wtf!
I also absolutely hate the miscommunication trope, and it made no sense at all in this book!!!
And the unexpected pregnancy? No thank you!
It made me sad how much this book made me angry, and even though I liked most of it, I can’t give it more than 2 stars for that stupid ass ending grrrr

Unpopular book opinion time: I know this a favorite of so many but I struggled to connect and really get into the story. The first part of the story I was sucked in and thought I could see why this book was so popular, but then when it flashed to the past it lost me. I kept pushing through but it just never grabbed me in the same way again. It felt like there was so much potential for the characters and connecting on more than physical attraction because of their backstories but I felt like it wasn’t capitalized on. There were glimpses of depth but I wanted more. I also felt like the twists and miscommunications were very predictable and I had guessed it was going to happen before the hallway point of the book. I can sort of see the appeal of this book, but it just fell flat for me. Maybe it just wasn’t the right book for me. 

Content notes: I struggled with the use of drugs and alcohol in this book. Normally the use of drugs in a book is an automatic DNF for me but I decided to push through thinking it was going to be a steady theme, but it occurred in at least 4 scenes. This also is open door, which I knew going in, but there were 7 open door scenes scattered throughout the book- which was a lot for me and my taste. There also were a good amount of sensual dialog/jokes and language.

This whirlwind romance reminds me to be certain on what you want. If not, you'll get miserable later on... or have regrets. Hah.
