So out of all the Ward sisters I think this story might be the lowest on my ranking but it was still a cute read. As unpopular as the trope may be to some, I LOVE a well executed accidental preggers trope. I love the drama, the panic, the fumbling through the ‘what is this’ stage, love it all! ….when it’s done well.
I feel like some of that execution was lacking for me. I felt like Lia was so much more into the relationship for so much longer than Jude was and I really don’t like that he missed so much of her actual pregnancy. I would have rated higher and probably enjoyed more if there wasn’t such a strong separation during the months where her belly was tripling in size and she was quite literally growing their child…like huh? I get the soccer/fútbol angle to an extent but that was my only real gripe with the story and for me it was a little bit of a dealbreaker.
On the more positive side, I loved seeing Lia’s journey in academia! im not studying the Brontes or English literature in any form but I am in school working towards my Masters in a different field and I felt a kindred spirit in her. I also struggle with figuring out ‘what I want to be when I grow up’ question and being able to see past the hustle of actually getting your degree. It’s such a hard thing to understand unless you’ve been in that position before but I never had something like doctor/lawyer/ect to dream abt. My path has been a more uncertain one in terms of career…I am absolutely in LOVE with my major and love being a student but the big girl future that will be here soon is still very scary. My mom calls it my Peter Pan Syndrome cause I’m not ready to grow up past where I am yet haha. So I really connect to Lia’s character in that way.
Overall, a happy ending, a cute new baby in the Ward clan, and a grand gesture at the end that was pretty sweet (I love anyone that sees their own faults and seeks help for that).
⭐️⭐️⭐️ 3/5
