Very sweet and emotional story. Glad to have gotten a book about these two. Their story was unexpected but was a really beautiful way to show their love. Definitely the most unconventional and least fun and lighthearted of the series but still wonderful and enjoyable!

when i picked up this book i was obviously in the mood for a pregnancy trope. let me tell you that this wasn't bad at all...until it was. what made this book worse than average was the family drama. i wasn't a fan of it.

I just kept thinking “I could be reading other books right now that I enjoy more”, a sign that I shouldn’t force it.
