Things are not boding well for this Prime-reads freebie, but I need to finish to stay on track!
- Stupid dog name (ugh)
- Male romantic interest who keeps referring to how “beautiful” and “gorgeous” the FMC is (double-ugh)
- Completely clueless FMC (rolls eyes)
- Insufferable in-laws (specifically MIL)
- Magically perfect bestie
- Hints of magical realism that go nowhere

More things that make me grind my teeth at this story:
- MC’s statement/assumption that her childfree-by-choice best friend “will make a great mother someday”!
- MC’s disdain for her mother, a successful & independent math professor, not choosing to be a more involved grandparent;
- calling her mother a “freakazoid” because she chooses to eat a healthy vegan, gluten free & sugar free diet
