1. Comforting to know that single men being asshole idiots to their friends in relationships isn’t an experience unique to me.
2. The emotional infidelity in this book made me very uncomfortable.
3. I hear and respect the concerns of other readers regarding a FMC who is infertile and then the book ending with a magical pregnancy.
4. I don’t agree with the “scandal” response amongst readers to Josh wanting 9 kids. It’s his life let him have what he wants. (Also, he’s from South Dakota; makes sense.)
5. However, as always, all of Abby’s medical references are spot on; kudos!

DNF @ 81% / pg 302.

Frankly one star because I can’t give 0 stars. This book teetered the line enough that I was going to finish it just to see what happened. Pg 302 was the straw that broke the camel’s back.

Not even giving kudos for trying to write a pro-female-claiming-sexuality plot. Leave 12 year old children out of it.
