Sad to say that this is my least favorite book of Sarah Adams to date. I have one left to cover, and that’s the book that precedes this one and I’ll get to it eventually. The usual funny and silly banter that I oh so love in many Adams books (namely The Rule Book and The Cheat Sheet) came off as cringe in this one. It’s mostly a silly enemies to lovers with light connotation on the word enemies and my god they really just can’t communicate very well. It’s so hard because they dislike each other for such trivial reasons that it made reading this book really hard.

I wish we could have seen more nuances of the FMC and her in her pregnancy plus the convoluted baby daddy stuff on top of the attentive OBGYN MMC, but it just… wasn’t it. Much of the book is filled instead with pranks and some are simply taken too far. Overall, a meh book. Forgettable.
