Doing a final read-through before this book flies my nest and lands in yours. And oof, apparently it still hits quite an emotional punch even when you know exactly what is coming. But the good news is the spice is hitting just as much! Prepare to be sad and h0rny!

This book is absolutely diabolical. I love it.

Doing my final read-through and love that these characters are still surprising me with their golden retriever/doberman energies, their unhinged amounts of mutual pining and how filthy their mouths can be. Also, will totally be writing sex lessons again. So fun!!!!!!

I had to update and say how brilliantly and sexily consent is being treated in this book and also can the slow burn be over but also never end please and thank you. (If it's not clear, I LOVE this book.)

I'm over a third in and feel I've not really learned much new, but I am finding the information about development and the brain very interesting if not hugely dramatic in how I'm going to parent my child... yet.

My go-to guilty pleasure/comfort read, I can't help but wonder if Ms Picoult got trampled under an elephant herself 2/3 of the way in as the plot is suspending belief a little bit... It worrying also seems to be handling mental health issues with quite a negative slant but I will read on to see if this is a fair conclusion...

I'm going to take this one oh so slowly. Because it's lovely. Like a poem about all poems.

Not going to lie, I'm enjoying this about 10% more than I would if I wasn't imagining Michael Fassbender acting his pants (and shirt, ideally) off as the main character (as he was in the film). Maybe I should do this in all books I read from now on....
