This is the perfect comfort romcom As a disabled nerd I grinned and laughed and felt so seen and with the couple!

 Also interesting to read abozt someone elses reality, hookups, pregnancy and Kids would never be my happy end, but it is for them and I am so happy!

I felt like the author is a swiftie for sure reading this and then I saw the title of her next book, I will pick up all of her other work for sure! Can't recommend enough

🪴 Independent and free spirited, Win has always been independent. She's never let her limb difference get in the way of her life. At her best friend's Annual Halloween Party, she meets a stranger — funny, charming and cute, Bo's also in a pirate costume. A one-night stand changes their life when Win finds herself pregnant. Despite Bo's enthusiasm to step up and be there for her and the baby, Win's heart is playing it safe. As they get to know one another as friends and soon-to-be co-parents, they're reminded that life rarely goes as planned.

🪴 If I could give this book a higher rating, I would. 50 pages in and I was smiling ear to ear. This book will make your heart sing and laugh because it is so pure and good. The chemistry between Win and Bo is electric! The spice coupled with the emotional depths of the characters makes this bigger than any average romance book. They're both so good as individuals as well. There are no red flags with Bo and reading about men like him feels so relaxing! I couldn't put this down and had to remind myself to pace myself because I didn't want it to end. Both are so inspiring and brave — they will fill your heart with joy.
