Unexpecting
by Jen Bailey
My rating for romance is 💖. This book also had me 🥹🥹.
Ben wanted to confirm he was gay, not confused, bisexual, or asexual. Maxie wanted to release the pressure females are given to protect their virtue. Neither expected a baby as a bonus result. Maxie wants to forget the whole thing, Maxie's parents want to put the baby up for adoption, and Ben realizes he wants to keep the baby and be a single Dad. He quickly realizes there are sacrifices that come with that decision: change in college pathways, change in career choice, loss of friends, and change in priorities.
• LGBTQ
• Teen pregnancy
• Neurodivergence
• Adoption
• Gay love
• Self acceptance
• Found family
