I used to be a Kindle hater in my youth. I thought, "This would be the end of print books as we know it." Ah, the foolishness of the young! (The little voice inside my head that sounds too much like my friends is saying, 'Jillian, you're only eighteen. Stop thinking you're super cool.') Now I know having a Kindle means more bang for my buck when it comes to my library. It also means I never have to go into a bookstore with my dad and have to explain the kissing couple on the front of my latest new adult purchase. That was just awkward. Anyways, I love my Kindle especially with Bookbub and Amazon Deals that lead me to little gems like When You Make It Home.

I was a little wary of When You Make It Home. I'd been disappointed in Baby & Bump and a few other stories with pregnant heroines I'd gotten discounted lately, but I took a gamble here. Unlike those other girls, Meg isn't nearly as whinny or dumb. She admits when she messes up, and her problems are understandable. Plus, her romance with Theo made me swoon. I loved Theo! He was so sweet and damaged, and I loved how he took care of Meg and made her face reality. I laughed when she insisted she was okay without Jason because she had people to take care of her, and he just goes, "Where? I don't see anyone taking care of you." They were just good together.

Of course, Meg and Theo have their issues (ex-boyfriends, past trauma, etc.), but they're dealt with honestly and realistically. I screamed in frustration when Theo went away, but I also understood. I was mad at him for a little bit, but I fell in love with him once again when he showed Meg the nursery. The book was so sweet it hurt my teeth! Also, Meg gets extra bonus points because she owns a bookstore.

(And gives birth in one!)

There were only a couple of things that made the book lose a star: Jason, Jason, and Jason. Just stay away, dude! You're not making anyone's life easier. Oh, and the beginning when Meg was insistent on hiding her pregnancy for no good reason. That was a little lame. Otherwise, I totally recommend When You Make It Home. It's one of the better romances I've read this year.
