This book was a very enjoyable read overall and the characters were so fun!
One thing that I liked about this book was the multidimensional characteristics of both of our MCs. This was in part because of the dual perspectives, but it was also supported through the conversations that the characters had with one another and how vulnerable and honest they were. Both characters had reservations about being in a relationship just in general, so it was nice to see that they were able to be honest and open with one another and help one another grow and feel mutual trust.
I also loved the (assumed) bisexual rep in this book and the main character's beautiful relationship she had with her ex (father of her baby) and his husband. It's nice to see a couple coparent successfully!
I formed the rating for my review and didn't give it 5 stars based on the fact that I wish that we had had more time to see the two characters actually BE together vs. just dance around one another and their conflicts. It felt very formulaic and frustrating and their "issue" they were dealing with didn't really make any sense to me. There was tension, of course, but I wish we had had more time with the two of them vs. toward the last 25% of the book.
My overall rating was a 3.5/5 stars.
Definitely recommend this for people who are looking for a quick, unique romance read.
