Pleasantly surprising! This was cute and funny, especially for an unplanned pregnancy as the center of the story. I really liked the characters. And got through this pretty quickly.

Lizzie and Rake have an intensely sexy one-night stand, which up until this point is what Lizzie prefers. Her ADHD has trouble committing to one person, and having to explain her messes, her seemingly flighty personality and her endless mistakes is just too much to bother with, so she doesn't. That is, until she ends up accidentally pregnant. Lizzie can barely take care of herself (or hold down a job), and now she is seriously contemplating adding a baby to the mix. Her friends are skeptical, but when Rake finds out, he drops everything and moves to the US to help Lizzie co-parent. He is not going to miss the opportunity to be a father. Where Lizzie is a hot mess, Rake is clean cut and organized. Their relationship is the epitome of opposites attract, but it just works out.

Like I said. It was a funny, enjoyable little book, and I am glad I picked it up!

This is by far the cutest romance I think I've read all year, if not ever. The characters are just so sweet and relatable and I found myself loving them more with every turn of the page.

On a deeper note, as a person with suspected ADHD, I found myself relating to Lizzie's character in a way that I don't feel very often. As crazy as it may sound, she feels like a part of me was taken out of my soul and poured onto pieces of paper. The feelings of being all too much and somehow not enough, the way she talked about ruining every relationship she'd had when in reality, she didn't stay long enough for it to be ruined, it's all so me. And I cannot thank Mazey enough for spreading awareness of not only neurodivergency but these specific feelings as well.
