First 5 star read of the new year! Before I get into the thoughts of my book I feel compelled to share my goals around reading for the new year first. I have a large physical tbr that I’ve neglected. So this year my goal is to read more from my physical tbr and less buying a book that sounds good. (Which is very tempting for my adhd) speaking of my adhd I tend to find audiobooks easier for me because I can multi task more. So I went on Libby and created a folder of books I physically own but in audiobook form. Fortunately most of the books had audiobooks and more than half had zero wait time. This will also help with my decision paralysis for my adhd.
This book was the first on the list following that concept and woah what a great decision. First of all this book was hilarious but the narrator made it 10x more funny with how she read it. She really got into character in the best way.
I loved the journey we were taken on over 9 months, and while I’ve never had kids of my own, I feel like a lot of these moments had to be relatable for people who have been pregnant.
The baby dad’s journey seemed real and raw but always wanting to show up. What a solid dude.
And Shep. What a gem of a gem! Also please tell me I wasn’t the only one who thought of Shep from Southern Charmed from back in the day lol. Although two very different people iykyk.
Overall this was a great start to the new year and I look forward to reading more from this author because this truly made me laugh out loud more than once!
