This book was the complete opposite of what I was expecting. It wasn't a cute single parent romance like I expected, but turned out to be something much more deeper. I wouldn't have expected the terminal illness that Vanessa had and seeing how it ruined her relationship with adrian, and made me believe it was going to be how their love story ended, with Vanessa passing away quietly and Adrian only finding out much later at a funeral and reminiscing her was real rough.
I'mso glad it was actually just a benign tumor ???? Thank god??? My heart would never have recovered otherwise.
That aside, for being a single parent romance I rarely see any scenes with Grace throughout the book. The baby should have had more of a presence in the story and shown more heart-warming moments between Adrian and her, but it felt like she was just passed around to neighbours, assistants, relatives so these two could go and date which go off ig but also take care of your child???
