I received an eARC of this book from NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

I've read some cringe-worthy pregnancy-centered romances, but this one is quite charming and sweet (probably because it subverts heteronormative/patriarchal norms and concepts of the meaning of "family"). I loved reading about the evolution and build-up of Mila and Ari's relationship, especially as it pertains to Mila's evolving career, and the side characters are fun additions to their world. I took off a star because the pacing is fine up until 3/4 of the way through the book, when it moves at lightning speed to reach the climax. The placement of the epilogue and bonus scenes are also strange; I would have switched the two because it's a jarring read in its current iteration.
