There was a point in this book when I thought I was going to hate it because the mc was being infuriating and would not just communicate. But then the plot took a sharp left turn and by the end, I really loved the characters and immediately wanted to jump into book 2.

There were a few things that drove me crazy such as the miscommunication trope and I wish Kristen didn't string along her first boyfriend. I know she was trying to find her happiness with the cards she was dealt, but it doesn't mean you stop using your voice.
However I did love her friendship with Sloan and I loved Josh's friendship with Sloan's fiancee. The found family feeling of the firehouse in general.
The character arcs and growth did take a bit to get there but it when they did, I was proud of them.
The author's note did raise my rating because I feel you deserve to know you are not alone in your diagnoses or journey.

i definitely know abby jimenez has better works so i’ll give her a pass, but i won’t lie this book was just not it. kristen was absolutely unbearable, i’ve never had to read about a more stubborn character and the whole “i’m not like other girls” attitude put me off her even more. it was giving “pick-me” energy. the entire book she would just avoid telling josh the main issue even though it could’ve been solved forever ago which very extremely childish. also, the emotional cheating kristen did while brandon was away was soooooo disgusting. i couldn’t even like kristen and josh together because of it. why couldn’t she just break up with him if she clearly didn’t feel a spark anymore?
as for the good parts of this book, i think it was meaningful that abby brought light to infertility issues and what that looks like for a woman, but i still question why she made the ending the way it is if she wanted kristen to be finally comfortable in her own skin. overall, this book made me extremely uncomfortable and i tried very hard to like it but just absolutely could not.
