yall I was sooooo ready for Kyle to be put into his place by a fierce FMC and this did not disappoint. What I was not ready for was how quickly I was going to love this man. Move over Clay Johnson! Kyle Robbins is here 🧎🏼‍♀️

Typically I don’t care for second chance bc the reasoning for the first breakup is dumb or icky but this one didn’t feel forced or off putting. The topics were handled with care and done well. Their past made the whirlwind relationship believable and not over the top. 

Madelyn was the perfect FMC for Kyle. After seeing him throughout the series she balanced him out and allowed for his character to shine and have some much needed growth. 

Now for what I didn’t care for and I think this is a personal preference me problem but holy hell you could tell Kandi was pregnant when writing this. The last 20%ish read like a mommy monologue I couldn’t wait for it to end. Being single mom trope you expect some of it but the end was a relentless slaughtering of baby talk and repetitive af.
