This book is good, but the subject matter is not really the kind of stuff I usually gravitate towards - pregnancy is highly disturbing for me, so I had to look past that... There were also some smaller flaws like Samir asking Laura to tell him to stop/say no, instead of asking for enthusiastic consent; and phrases like "wet channel" to describe a vagina - Ew. But it's still a Talia Hibbert book, so I had a good time reading it.

Especially when Ruth and Evan made a cameo!

It was good romance where the main love interest is a complete simp. It’s a friends-to-lovers-to-strangers-to-friends-to-lovers.  It’s not long at all. I was reading and didn’t even notice that I was 86% finished and it wasn’t a 500 page slow burn where the first kiss is at pg 498😭
