I heard about this one on TikTok and it was highly regarded. And I’m in the minority here, but I didn’t like it. There is really nothing wrong with this book, it just wasn’t for me. 

The story is centered around an accidental pregnancy and although I know the author tried to write a story that is greater than the trope, I found it a little boring. My favorite authors are able to build these rich characters and witty banter and unfortunately this one fell flat in this area. 

I really loved the story around why the author wrote the book and how it connected to her own experiences with disability and motherhood. 

May be worth a try, but I won’t personally recommend.
