Lucy Davenport has a plan. After years of relationships that fell apart the moment things got serious, the thirty-two-year-old Los Angeles attorney has stopped waiting for commitment and decided to build the family she wants on her own.
Amy Bowen definitely does not have a plan. At twenty-six, she’s a broke second-year med student juggling tuition, rent, and the kind of stress that turns coffee into a personality trait. A routine appointment at the world’s most chaotic fertility clinic should have been forgettable.
Instead, a disastrous mistake leaves Amy pregnant with Lucy’s last two embryos.
Amy wants out. Lucy wants the future she’s been trying so hard to create. The arrangement they land on is completely Amy moves into Lucy’s gorgeous house, Lucy covers everything, and they agree to survive the pregnancy without making the whole situation any more complicated than it already is.
Which would be a lot easier if they didn’t have ridiculous chemistry. Or if Lucy weren’t so secretly tender beneath all that control. Or if Amy didn’t look dangerously at home in Lucy’s kitchen.
Because the longer they live together, the less this feels like an accident… and the more it feels like something neither of them planned, but both of them might desperately want.
I Think This Is Yours is a warm, witty sapphic romcom featuring forced proximity, opposites attract, one very inconvenient pregnancy, and a love story that starts with the wrong patient and ends with a family no one saw coming.
Yeah I'd bet my life AI was used in the making of this book. As someone else said there's tons of repetitive scenes and conversations, the two main characters are basically the same person, and there's virtually no chemistry between them. The premise is interesting but I couldn't get past the same boring talks again and again. Also, Amy goes to USC but the shitty AI cover has her wearing a UCLA shirt, pissed me off.
This let me down, as the plot and character building started off strong. However, towards the middle I felt like there was a lot of repetition and too mush description for the plot and characters.
Intriguing set up then nothing interesting happens.
I liked the premise and the narrative style was the good kind of interesting. What I didn't like was that all the characters had the exact same personality. We got told they were different or had this trait or that trait, but we never actually saw that in action in the story telling or dialog. The dialog was super restrained and mechanical, like they were all saying as few words as possible to get the essential information across, and everyone spoke in the exact same way. There was also no conflict. Now, I've loved books with no/low drama or angst before, but those stories had some sort of arc or something for the characters to overcome. This had none. They had a problem for about two minutes. Then they basically resolved it immediately upon talking for the first time, then developed the resolution, then acted on that solution with no tension, no conflict, no adjustment needed. The "argument" they have is literally a calm conversation where they communicate effectively and then touch base later to process and ensure they've resolved it properly. They're already aware of their own flaws from the beginning, discuss them immediately, then never actually have to overcome any of them. They have the same personality as in, both Type A overachieving list lovers who emotionally process things the exact same way. It's like they're the exact same person with different backgrounds in different stages of life thrust into the same situation, and then they handle everything perfectly.
In other words...there was no story. No plot. No character development. Even the side characters all had the same personality and spoke the same way. The characters were all very clinical and methodical in their communication, very analytical and logical in their thoughts and emotional processing (which again, was the same), and very little emotional depth was explored until the birth scene at the end, which was far less impactful than it could have been had that development taken place. The friends and family felt like wasted opportunities for character or plot development, and were mainly superfluous.
It was a great premise, an excellent set up, a decent meet cute, then basically you can just skip to the birth, then skip most of what comes after, and you'd miss literally nothing.
There was potential here, so much! But sadly, in my opinion, the potential remains unrealized.
DNFed at 69%. Obviously I can’t prove this is AI, however, I can definitely state that it feels like AI.
The dialogue was painfully stilted. Every character spoke in the same short, clipped sentences, making them completely indistinguishable from one another. Instead of feeling like conversations between different people, it felt like the same person talking to themselves.
The writing also leaned heavily on repetitive phrases like “the specific quality of…” and “with the kind of…” to the point of distraction. It came across less as intelligent prose and more like someone desperately trying to use their new “Word of the Day” vocabulary in every sentence.
Their involvement started with a mistake. The wrong woman was called into the room, the doctor didn’t confirm the patient and suddenly Amy was pregnant with another woman’s last two eggs. Through this mistake Amy who was there for information about donating eggs and Lucy who was there to have her final two eggs transferred had some very honest conversations. As you would some mistake! The book takes you through the building of their relationship and the honesty they both cherish.
Concept for the story was cool and that's that. AI slop all over the place, repeated topics of conversations, the connection between main characters is not convincing at all, timeline of pregnancy is messed up. Monosylable answers, all "deeper" talks start with name of one of the MCs and then infodump. Also MCs have same personality, same way of thinking in their internal monologues and most of all the romance part is lacking like a lot....Everything is AI from long dashes to book cover...sadly dissapointing
A Sweet & Emotional Story About An Error In An Egg Donation Clinic
I have to say I loved this book. I think the format of conversation between the main is based on their personalities. I don’t think it is AI generated. Author should address it. However these two women who find themselves in a situation have very similar personalities. Those traits are what dictates and propels the story forward. Accepting what happened, dealing with their new normal and learning to keep moving forward and not back. Leaning to be honest and using their words correctly.
It was simple human error! A story that is so squeaky clean about two lesbians.
Amy a student in her second year at college was broke, forty three dollars broke. Sell her eggs, yep! Lucy a lawyer is desperate in using her last two embryos to have a child. Same office, one technician absent, and a very busy doctor facility. Amy is shown to the wrong room and suddenly instead of withdrawal she is inserted with the last two embryos. OMG! Now what? Enjoy!
Another one I should have checked the ratings before starting. What a terrible POS. AI? maybe. I haven't looked at the author's other books - if there are any - but if so, that'll make two book in as many weeks that were almost certainly AI. (looking at you Breaking Her Protocol)
I was really excited for this one, it had major Jane The Virgin vibes, but it fell a little flat. I didn't feel like the characters had any chemistry, and the dialogue was very robotic. The way they over-discussed their feelings started out sweet, but by the halfway mark, it was tedious. It was like the author was so determined not to have a miscommunication trope that they took it way too far.
I don’t really know what happened to this book. The story starts off strong, such as the premise and distinct characters, and then slowly the book goes downhill and doesn't bounce back. I literally couldn’t separate the two characters sometimes. I felt like I was rereading the same chapters, with no chemistry, and on and on it went.
“I had such a great time reading this book. I really loved the story, and honestly, I wish people in real life were as emotionally mature as these characters. It was fun, no dramatic, and super entertaining from start to finish.”
Seemed like AI. Repetitive vocab and sentences. It’s so surface level. The characters discuss the same things over and over. Side characters are so boring. The book lacked emotion and depth. The story line is different which was interesting but that’s about it. So disappointed :/
AI slop. Repetitive and boring. No depth at all. The idea is good but very poorly executed and all over the place. Even the cover doesn't match since the MC goes to USC and not UCLA. Save your time. DNF
I loved the characters and the storyline. These characters were perfect for each other. Support this author's books and make sure you leave your reviews.
