Honestly just too many cliches packed in. It felt forced.
Mysteriously missing husband who suddenly reappears, boy from high school who she always loved, unknown dad, pregnant teen, teen questioning sexuality,
it was a little much. The first half of the book was also slow. I know it’s meant to be a light-hearted read, but I still like it not to be cringey tropes piled in. And the ending was so fast. Truly last two pages of happily ever after.
