Explicitness: 🌶️🌶️🌶️

I really thought I was going to love this one because the first few chapters were really fun and there were some great supporting characters, but it just became so repetitive in the end and there were so many filler scenes that added nothing to the story and could have been cut out. 

Tessie was so unnecessarily mean to Solomon to begin with and then made a full 180 and was suddenly in love with him. Then it was just chapter after chapter of their inner monologues going ‘I love him’ ‘I love her’ but never actually saying it to each other and just allowing all the miscommunication to carry on. Then it became extremely cheesy which I realise is probably subjective and a personal thing but for me it just ruined the story. 

I did think that the storyline had a lot of promise, there were a cast of great supporting characters and friendships and what felt like a relatively realistic depiction of what pregnancy is like. If this had been 100 pages shorter and there had been a whole lot more tension between them I would have rated it higher. 

I would recommend this if you love a surprise pregnancy, a bit of a small town feel, grumpy mountain men and a whole lot of insta-love.
