This review is… a little strange, but honestly the book had me confused, so it fits 😭
It started off really good… like, I was settling in thinking okay, this about to be a vibe. And then out of nowhere, I just couldn’t get into it anymore. Everything became predictable, super on-the-nose, and oddly flat. The communication? Practically nonexistent. They’d “talk,” but not really talk.
He’d say he wanted one thing… she’d argue him down… and then somehow they’d magically “resolve” the issue, except it never actually felt resolved. It was like watching two people pretend they had a conclusion when they really just swept everything into a corner.
A perfect example… he’s upset because his son isn’t in school. She explains that she just moved, she’s trying to get him into school, the waitlist is long, etc. And instead of them discussing it like adults, he just calls in a favor, makes something happen, and boom…..that’s the end of it. No conversation, no “here’s what I’m doing,” nothing. Just heavy-handed initiative.
But the real mess? Whew 😮💨
This girl is dating a whole man. Going on dates… texting him… entertaining him. But she’s also sleeping with her baby daddy on the side. Ma’am. Either stick with your baby daddy or leave him alone, because this half-in, half-out situation was stressing me out.
And it gets messier, because the baby daddy is in this on again, off again situationship with his coworker… who has a promise ring he gave her… and he’s still kissing on the mother of his child like it’s nothing. And she’s letting him! Knowing he’s involved! Girl, what are we doing?!
It was just… a tangled pile of confusion. Everyone making questionable choices with their whole chest.
Overall, the book wasn’t terrible… it just wasn’t giving what I hoped it would give. So I landed on 2 stars.
