This book was a easy read and lovable. A teenager and a baby living with two idiots falling in love. That social worker is the real match maker MVP here. There is cute found family moments too. There is some darker undertones such as drugs, bad family relationships, and angry issues. It does come across a little like fast love but over liked the read!

After reading Out On A Limb from Bonam-Young and feeling overwhelming okay about it, I didn't have great hopes to be wowed by this. However, I was surprised by how quick of a read this was and how at the end of things, I did have a good time. I believe that Bonam-Young's strength lies in writing heartfelt, very domestic stories that handle discussions around extremely difficult/uncomfortable topics with grace. Chloe and Warren don't have it easy and it isn't sugarcoated. Do I think their romance was a bit insta-lovey? Yes but if you are looking for a quick, feel-good read, this may be the story for you.
