something about the writing style just puts me off so fucking much. it's very middle school, i don't know how else to describe it. constantly sounds quirky & it just comes as trying too hard to be witty, which it really isn't. got annoyed within the first 15 mins of reading it.
WOW!
I'm gonna be so honest I went into this book completely blind other than the fact it was an unplanned pregnancy trope and boy was I surprised about who ended up getting together!!! (In the best way)
When our love interests started getting closer and spending more time together I was like .... Wait am I supposed to be rooting for this guy because I am. LOL quick check to the synopsis and I was like okay I'm in the clear
Anyway! I would put this up there with the sweet romance like in Out on a Limb but Hannah Bonam-Young (obviously different circumstances but still such a sweet genuine blossoming love)
Honestly it reminds me of the quote from ... is it The Fault in Our Star? That goes “I fell in love the way you fall asleep, slowly then all at once”
The narrator reminds me of the actress who plays Belly in The Summer I Turned Pretty
If you are an audiobook person, definitely listen to this on audiobook. It takes it to a whole other level.

4.5 - This was delightfully funny and cute. I loved these characters! Friends to lovers continues to be my favorite trope. And speaking of tropes, accidental pregnancy gets a bad rep, but this was wonderful. Pregnancy and pregnancy-related themes were front and center as topics and as a novel structure, so beware if this is a sensitive topic for you.
My cheeks hurt from smiling so much while reading this. The slow burn was just right and this book might have some of the best written intimate scenes. The writing in this book as a whole was actually quite good and the characters felt authentic. I have only heard wonderful things about this book so I can't say I was surprised, but it's still a great story to experience. I highly recommend it!
