2.0
No strong representation of diverse characters or minority identities.
The entirety of the plot of <b>Meant to Be</b> is described in the synopsis. It didn't feel as if there were any emotional development as the main characters transitioned from long-time best friends to something more. Despite being separated for a year – and the Heroine being alone while pregnant for that amount of time – there was very little angst. It was unbelievable, especially considering the Heroine had no family or friends outside of the Hero. The reality of that kind of situation – and how horrible the Hero probably felt when he came home and discovered what happened when he was away – detracted from my enjoyability of the romance. I found it difficult to suspend my disbelief.
Safety Rating: Safe with Exceptions
• No cheating
• No OW/OM drama
• No pushing away
• Does have a 1-year separation after they sleep together for the first time
Possible Triggers: Yes

Ending:HEA
