I loved the angst, the build up, the drama, and the unexpected emotion. Kristen’s infertility plot was handled sensitively and authentically. The miscommunication trope worked for the story, and added to the angst. I wish there had been a little more depth to Kristen’s “OCD” than just ‘I need it to be clean.’ I think that really could have added depth to her character, by exploring her insecurities as obsessions. I also think this could have added a lot to the conversation regarding her confusion between Tyler and Josh. Overall I really enjoyed the romance, and found the plot twist at the end to be an unexpected emotional journey that added a lot to the story.
