The Life We Crave
They never expected a baby…
Layla Carter is officially bored. Stuck in a life she’s beginning to resent. That becomes all the more clear when her best friends become parents, something she’s always dreamed of. Something her husband Grant never wanted.
When a fight with her husband precedes a late night with her boss, for a single moment, everything fades away, until it’s just them, a bottle of wine and a mistake that doesn't feel like one at the time.And then she comes back to earth.
Theo is everything she’s ever wanted, but she loves her husband. So they can’t be together, no matter how much they long for each other.
Until a surprise pregnancy throws a wrench into the tentative peace she’s found with Grant, forcing her to face the consequences of her actions.
The father could be either one of them.
But when Theo meets the man he should resent and instead feels an undeniable attraction, all three of them must come to terms with what they could be before someone gets hurt.

THIS SERIES!!!!!
My face hurt from how wide my jaw was with pure shock this whole book. every one in the this series gets better and weirder and more crazy while somehow being incredibly realistic. I was so on the fence about all the characters which i consider a good thing, they were all flawed while having explanations for their flaws and acknowledging them.
I also loved that the characters never found out who the bio dad is (i feel like it makes their relatioinship more realistic.) but that the readers got to know. I can also see them having another baby and again deciding not to know who the bio dad is.
