I was able to enjoy this one more so than the previous two novels but I do wish that Bo had some flaws (he felt a little too perfect.) The disability rep was wonderfully done & possibly vulnerable on the authorโ€™s end so kudos to Hannah for being able to write this with Win in mind. It felt a little bit Groundhog Day ish where we got slices of life from the couple but prolific nothing happening.

Let's get this out of the way: it was 5 stars before the epilogue and on all future reads the epilogue will not exist (the same way I always stop Ragnorock early when everyone is happy).
10 years is way too big of a time jump and there's no way her likely grant-funded camp would be making that much $$$$ for Bo to quit and be a stay at home dad for 3 kiddos. Just....no.


Ok now that's out of the way OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!! Y'all I LOVED THIS BOOK!

It has so many of the things I love in it:
-disabled joy, love, and sex
-nuanced depictions of disability that take into account all the feels of it
-fully fleshed out disabled characters
-messy characters whose broken emotional parts fit
-healing happening in relationship and none of this love yourself first BS
-
a breeding kink...y'all when he pushed the cum back in WHEW BOY they better not remove that part when it gets traditionally published

-a great cast of side characters who I loved just as much as our MCs.

Win and Bo meet at a halloween party and have the hottest one night stand...that also happens to be deeply meaningful to each of them. Win finds out she's pregnant (also s/o for the built-in repro health lesson here!) and Bo surprises her by being ALL IN (and when you find out WHY?! OMG). What follows is: forced proximity, trying to hide feelings (but failing), so many disability jokes that probably seem crass to pre-disabled folx (but if you get it, you *get* it), SO MANY FEELS....and, eventually, more hot sex. 

Seriously, in all the convos about the book I never heard people talk about the spicy scenes and they showed UP. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป 

Anyway, I'm officially in the group of people screaming about how good this book is and how even if you hate the accidental pregnancy trope to try it anyway and honestly I can't wait to buy a copy with the new cover by our QUEEN Leni Kaufmann. *bows*

This was SO GOOD!!! It's only January, but I already have Book of the Year vibes coming from this one. 

I absolutely loved the open honesty between Win and Bo. Their banter and interactions felt so real, but they still had that great rom-com quality I love. 

I was so happy exes didn't make a reappearance, and than the author gods for no third act breakup. This had my heart swooning and sighing. I would love to read more from this author ๐Ÿ’•

This book was SO SWEET!! Loved the disability rep, and Win and Boโ€™s relationship was just wonderful. The ending was a little too perfect but I couldnโ€™t help but giggle and kick my feet. Kudos to Hannah for writing an accidental pregnancy trope that makes a really well-written story!
