Win is at a point in her life where she has ambitions, but feels like she's stuck in a rut.
Bo has been through a lot personally that has taken a toll on him physically and mentally.
Win and Bo meet at a party and have a one night stand. Or at least that was the plan, but that goes out the window when Win finds out she's pregnant. Now these two strangers must delicately navigate a bond together for a future they both want, they're just not quite sure how to get there.
Well, this book was definitely not a part of my summer TBR, but I enjoyed Next to You so much I decided to listen to the audiobook and once I started listening I couldn't stop. Win was born with a disability and Bo acquired a disability later in life. Each main character and side characters feel lived in and Bo as well as Win's disabilities are not the only part of their existence, (which is very much appreciated). The slow burn romance takes a back seat to budding friendship based on mutual respect and two characters feeling seen by one another.
Just pick up a copy already.
Minor critique: The epilogue was unnecessary and once again I'm reading a book where finances are part of the solution. That's a big pet peeve of mine.
