I would like a Bo please and thank you. He’s such a cute golden retriever nerd.

Win and Bo are so cute and both have such good sense of humor. We love to see two people who have a good way of solving problems TOGETHER and have healthy conversation about issues and feelings. 

Normally I’m not a fan of the pregnancy trope but I think having a good couple to go through it (instead of characters I want to fight) made it more enjoyable.

This was okay.
The limb difference representation was very sweet and I was cool with the pregnancy since I knew that was the main plot point of the book. 
Everything felt too easy, too perfect. There wasn’t any real conflict, just Win’s inner turmoil that was built on assumptions.

Of course Bo is rich and they don’t have to worry about anything, very convenient.

so it ended up being a little boring, I sped up the audio to 2x speed at the 85% mark to get it over with lol. 
It’s a good story for those looking for a sweet escape from reality.

This was cute and sweet, but kind of didn’t have a plot? I liked the representation and it was an accidental pregnancy trope gone well (hitting particularly hard because I read it while pregnant) but there really was not much conflict or plot to be seen. It was a lot about Win and Bo’s personal development and admitting to their feelings but once that happened it felt like a series of one-shots of them being cute and happy which was lovely, but not necessarily perfect for me.

This was SO fun! I love that the book focused so heavily on the Win and Bo developing a healthy relationship. I have never read an accidental pregnancy book before, so

I was really nervous that there would be a traumatic birth scene or a bad third-act breakup, but I was very pleasantly surprised that neither happened.

I will absolutely be checking out more books from this author, her writing style really grabbed me from the start and kept me engaged the entire way through.
