Really enjoyed this one. Win & Bo were so cute together and Sarah & Caleb were entertaining. Loved all the relationships outside of Win & Bo as well. Watching their relationship grow was really special. Up until the end I would have given it 5 stars but then it got TOO cheesy and perfectly wrapped up. Loved the disability rep - it was important to the characters and their development but it wasn’t the main piece of the story - seemed realistic to me (as an able bodied person).

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 💕

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!

(heat level: a few open-door scenes, explicit details)

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."

If I had to sum up this book in one word, it would be “wholesome” 🥹
