I want to love this. I was prepared to love this. But the FMC was exhausting. How hard is it to be upfront and have a fucking adult conversation?! I also didn't enjoy how the author wrote Kristen to act like infertility made her a freak or not a woman. And how she was CONSTANTLY gaslighting Josh. He's gotta be the world's most patient man.
I would have liked to see them adopt or another option that is so real for thousands of women. But surprise pregnancy it was.
