I loved this book so much! I think Tucker is my favorite guy of the series (even though I love them all!) just because of how sweet and considerate he is. I liked how this book incorporates more real-life plot points where I saw them consider the future and how much work it would take for them to live/work as a couple. Every scene with past characters from previous books made me way too happy! We saw how everyone’s lives progressed nicely. As for the pregnancy trope, I think it worked well in this book. It was established early that Tucker wanted a family eventually so it made sense the way his character reacted and Sabrina actually considered her options and needs so it felt natural unlike some books. Plus it was not the central point of the plot. I liked how the book was mainly about Sabrina realizing that what she thought was the only path for herself, was not the only option to finding happiness. It was a nice message. However, if you’re reading solely for the steam, I felt that it wasn’t quite as strong or impactful as previous books. It didn’t hurt my enjoyment though. I loved Tucker and Sabrina’s story!
