After the dumpster fires that were Rhythm, Chord & Malykhin and Under Locke, I'm so excited to say I enjoyed the book. Diana wasn't really that pick me and a woman hater. When Diana compliments women in her narration, I get so much joy. (suck it Gaby)
Diana and Dallas were cute. The romance didn't completely burn me or leave me longing for more but I did like them.
I really liked the resolution to Josh's storyline with his birth mother, it was very open ended and it allows Josh to figure out what he wants to do. Speaking of Josh, the family elements was cute af.
Some things in this book was a little bit silly, I didn't mind it too much thought because I did enjoy the book overall.

Read for:
-Minor character crossovers! (Kulti, The Wall of Winnipeg and Me, and Under Locke) it was cute to see Sal/Reiner, Vanessa/Adrien, and the brief brief mention of Iris/Dex!
-Slowwww burn (of course)
-Single mom
-Mexican rep
Bonuses I loved:
-No 3rd act breakup!!!!!!! Mariana is alwaaaays amazing at having realistic conflict without a ton of miscommunication and ridiculous breakups <33!! Loved the lack of drama in this book.
The relationship between these characters was fleshed out so so well and the kids surprisingly were also super fun and enjoyable to read about (as someone who hates pregnancy tropes and stuff! there's no pregnancy trope aside from epilogue). If you can enjoy a slow 400+ pages of relationship building then this book is 100% for you! If you hate long romances, this isn't going to be for you (and I'd recommend Devney Perry's work instead). However, this book is worth the 400+ :)! So so enjoyable.
