So yes, this was almost typical of what I would think a second chance, single mother, rockstar romance would be.
With just a few slight surprises that I wasn’t expecting, maybe because I wasn’t looking for a warning signs of certain things. But still wondering how we were going to address the very big single mother factor.
But I do think that it was a great drop moment when it became clear what was going on.
For me, the reason why it’s not higher because there wasn’t enough drama leading up to it and after it. Yes we did get the drama of the finding out and what to do afterwards, but it seemed like everything was kind of cookie cutter shaped, and you just placed the cookie in it.
And maybe it’s because I was expecting a bit more angst when it comes to this type of specific tropes but it just didn’t hit it for me.
I was surprised that I did like how Vince handled the situation and even though he was very staunch in the beginning of his feelings about this certain trope, he was very hands-on and went above, especially the first meeting.
So would I read this again? No.
But would I recommend it to a contemporary friend? Yes.
