My notes reading this book:

Not much happening till the pregnancy.
I like that the fmc is perseverent and focused on her goals. I hope it will work somehow out with her pregnancy.
The mmc is a gentleman. Such a sweatheart. He s taken the news in a mature way.
I like the MCs conversations. Not very interesting but keeps the reader going.
They are idiots at choosing the baby name. James Tucker?! For a girl??! Seriously???!
Don t understand what type of relationship the MCs have. They are friends, lovers, don t live together but he s been with her during birth, and she doesn t want for him to move on but would accept if he do, and they are not married but fight for the last name of the child, and she would be okay if he wants to be a part in his child life but would accept if he doesn t want that, and she wants him, and then says she screwed his life, and he just go with the flow, and its just so weird this relationship. Like not even them can t name it.

Its a pretty average story.
The story seems a little messy.
This book didn t stir any
emotion from me.
The ending was average, nothing surprising.
They make it work in the end, not the best, not the worse.

Hmmmm this is a hard one. I loved John Tucker. And I liked Sabrina at the start. But by the end I didn't feel she'd redeemed herself enough. I felt John deserved more from her. I know she told him she loved him but I felt she needed to show it more.

Don’t read this book if you haven’t read the previous book in the series as the plot lines overlap/interlace. I actually enjoyed some of the overlapping story lines from the previous book to this one - it was like seeing the same situation but from a different angle.

Strong character exploration and development in this book, especially with Sabrina, who arguably has the most depth to her character compared to the other FMC of the series. There were times in the book I wanted to beat her over the head and get her to hurry up with her development, but even with all her flaws, she’s still a fairly enjoyable character to follow along with.
