“Jessie is starting to make sense to me, and she's only becoming more beautiful as she comes into focus.”
This was cute, funny and wholesome just what I needed and expected from Sarah Adams. The enemies to lovers was done well but I think it was more of hate to love not actual real enemies to lovers because Jessie hated Drew for his perfection.
Drew is the best thing about this book. This man is just perfect. He knows how to love and care for Jessie. He was there for her and her baby even though she annoyed and humiliated him with her her fake engagement revenge plan.
Jessie was annoying for the 80% of the book and I did not liked her techniques for getting revenge on Drew. She humiliated him in front of everyone and he still treated her with love and care. Jessie's hate for Drew was because of her abandonment issues and it's okay but this woman forgets that she was seven months pregnant.
The romance was cute. They always fight and bicker over small things because they like each other but both are affraid of getting attached to each other because their so called fake-girlfriend-living-arrangement had an expiry date. I would've loved it more had they talked more openly about their feelings for each other in the start and especially Jessie because she was in denial for almost the 80% of the book. Drew was so kind and sweet for accepting Jessie and her baby and I liked how he loved Jessie and Jane.
What I liked the most is that this book had no third-act breakup! The ending was so cute! Overall, this book was a fine cutesy and funny rom-com.

“She smiles too, and it's the prettiest thing I've ever seen. It's light filtering into a desolate, damp cave. It's the first taste of watermelon in summer. It's a monarch butterfly landing on your finger.”

“What happened recently?”
He smirks down at me. “You.”
“Me?”
He nods. “You steamrolled your way into my life and reminded me how good it feels to let go a little . . . to fight, to play to laugh.”

“None of that sounds like a lesson you've learned.”
“Exactly. You don't teach me lessons-you help me rest.”

The first book was enjoyable, this book was barely bearable to me. I really liked Jessie and Drew in the first book, but they (Jessie) did not have MC energy. There was a lot of Jessie whining and not appreciating all Drew does for her and her child.

Did I know this was a pregnancy-trope book before I got started.. no. Was it fitting for this time of my life.. yes lol. I liked the enemies-to-lovers (though it was dragged on a little long) and had a few moments where I loled. Once they made the switch, it was very insta-love, but I'm glad Jessie found Drew. Some of the pranks were childish, but it was a wholesome, light-hearted read as expected from Sarah Adams.

Lovely and different. Sarah Adams is so fun and light and like a modern hallmark movie story teller.

I think I laughed way to much while reading this book, but it was too cute not to laugh.
