I had this on preorder and would not have gone for it if I had known the basic premise of the plot beforehand. I just don’t want children anywhere near my romance.
That being said; this was well-written until the third-act breakup. The "twist" pissed me off. so. much. Really was just thumbing through it because it was so predictable and inevitable. Can be interesting to see people go through inevitable changes but this one was just checking boxes.
