Finding Center by Katherine Locke

There will likely be spoilers but I read this awhile ago so I cannot confirm nor deny...
This series is just extremely melodramatic and this often makes it tedious. The first installment works better because you have not grown tired of the constant drama, drama which is almost always OLD drama that will not go away.
I really, really did not enjoy this turning into a baby/pregnancy book. That is in the top two of my least favorite things to read...and I only say top two because there might be something I dislike more but right now I can't think of anything.
The therapy sessions in this book feel really unrealistic to me. Both MCs are really messed up and unsteady, especially Aly, yet nothing is said about Aly being a mother? Even the therapist says she is terrible at multitasking yet is that not a major skill of parenting? Am I missing something here?
Major issue: there is no way, absolutely no way, that these two characters we have followed for two books and a short story are anywhere near stable enough to raise a child. Yet, not having the child or giving the child up for adoption etc. is never even discussed. Not likely. Why the fuck would no one, NOT ONE, person suggest or ask about whether she was keeping it? They're both messed up emotionally and are not stable, not even with each other, but a baby is a good idea? Really? They can barely keep their own lives from spinning out of control every chapter but a baby? Sounds like a plan apparently. That child is going to have a very unhealthy childhood if you ask me. Maybe the next set of books will be this child at his/her own therapy sessions!
