'*•.¸♡ I loooove single parent trope. Finding out Emerson is a doctor was even cooler ♡¸.•*'

'*•.¸♡ She’s a doctor that moves from the city to a small town & gets a contract for six months. He’s a single dad who’s taking care of his son & does not like to play around when it comes to his child. What will happen when they become neighbors & see each other pretty frequently? They get off on a bad note since Nash isn’t a big fan of a new doctor for his kid & the fact that she’ll be there for six months only. ♡¸.•*'

'*•.¸♡ Emerson flees the city for a fresh start. She’s been underestimated by almost colleague AND patients parents. I loved Emerson sososo much. She’s definitely one of my favorite fmcs I’ve read in a while. She’s very confident in what she does & stands her ground. When we find out why she left San Francisco, it makes me feel bad for her but understand why she’d want to leave it all behind so badly. ♡¸.•*'

'*•.¸♡ Nash is definitely an overprotective parent when it comes to his son. It was nice to see him all fluffy around his son & you can tell he truly loves him. He’s been betrayed & heartbroken in the past so it makes sense if he’s worried & careful with his feelings & Cutler. ♡¸.•*'

'*•.¸♡ I found it hilarious that Cutler really made Emerson & Nash bond so much since he liked her 😭 it was adorable. Seeing them spend time together & actually like a little family before a relationship even started was so cute!!! Emerson is definitely the mother Cutler needed in his life. ♡¸.•*'
