I think I had very high expectations for this book and, while it was good and I enjoyed reading it, it didn't quite met them.
In Nora's honour, I will make a pros and cons list.
The pros:
• Good character development
• Good chemistry between the main characters
• A strong and flawed female main character
• Charlie.
• Underlining and pinterest-worthy passages (I may or may not have shed a tear with one or two)
The cons:
• At first, it felt a little like Libby's whole personality was built around her being pregnant; this got better as the book developed, but I was still not a huge fan of her character
• A little predictable, this coming from a person that mainly reads romance
• I don't know, it missed a "wow" factor, I guess.
