I loved this! A different premise for a romance than I’m used to and the secondary plot rivaled the romantic plot. Only thing that made it not quite 5 stars for me was the pacing, I worried in the middle we had already passed the biggest plot points (it hadn’t).

This book was really cute! I loved the relationship between Chloe and Warren, which felt really realistic. Maybe it was just the situations that they were in, but they really felt more grown up than many main characters I’ve read before. I thought they had great tension and it was really well paced!

I also really liked the overall plot. I thought that the fostering storyline was both unique and super well done. It was an interesting twist on the usual single parent story and I really enjoyed it! I also think the mentions of addiction and the downsides of adoption were handled very well, which I really appreciated.
