This was so cozy and swoony 🥹🫶

Here’s the thing. The surprise pregnancy trope is REALLY hard to get right. At least for me. And Cara did it flawlessly imo. If you enjoyed Out On A Limb, I think you’d really like this! 

I will say, Ethan was a very aggravating character, but Cara did a great job with his growth and not having him around too much haha. She balanced his whiny bitch moments with Shep being thoughtful and sweet. I seriously love Shep so much, he had me giggling like an idiot lmao. 

P. S. The audio was PHENOMENAL. Highly recommend that format 😮‍💨
