“I love you, Win. I love you so much it makes me feel like I’ve hated everything else in my life up until now. Nothing compares to what I feel for you. Not even close.“

I’ve been seeing this book in the book community although not a lot compared to “booktok” books. I haven’t seen anybody reviewed this in a negative way so I thought that even with only a few reels about it,  it should be an amazing read. And it was, for me. I devoured it. Devoured the relationship between Win and Bo. Such unique names and nicknames too. I knew this book has a “kid” trope in it but I did not expect it to be an “accidental pregnancy” trope (i think that’s a thing). 

When you read about two people hitting it off on the get-go, it makes you hope that you’d encounter such experience with another person. To be honest, that was me and my current partner. First time we met, it was just instant connection (at least on my side). Like Win and Bo, it was topics after topics and you just can’t shut up because it conversation just don’t stop. Sure, they weren’t ready to be in a relationship when they met but they both had to be weeks after. You can’t deny that Win won out by having Bo as the father because you can’t ask for anybody more perfect than Bo. Bo was just amazing, to say the least. The way he was happy and accepted the pregnancy for what it was - a blessing.  Hannah also writes the best side characters too! The wits and banters and just the interactions between all characters are just hilarious that made me really laugh out loud at 2 in the morning. 

Definitely recommend this especially if you like seeing disability representation!!! It was just written beautifully. It was such a blast seeing the two of them became acquaintances to roommates to friends to lovers to parents.
