I quite enjoyed this book. It has a bit of a slow start, but after about the first 50 pages, I found it hard to put down. You wind up getting the POV of nearly every character in the book, which makes each chapter a little different and interesting. 

I feel that the book could've been a little shorter and achieved the same message. Nonetheless, this was a cute and slightly stressful read.

blurb isn’t accurate to what actually takes place. the baby doesn’t come into play until 3/4 of the way through the book, basically. An enjoyable read, but would’ve been better if the blurb wasn’t misleading. 

I felt so much anger while reading this, yet I found myself completely engrossed and unable to put it down. The way the stories were intertwined with multiple POVs was great. It provided a deep insight into the character's conflicting emotions.

This has a very rom-com feel.
I wasn’t really impressed by the overarching story, but if you need something light I would absolutely recommend it!
There were a lot of convenient coincidences for my personal taste
