I was going to rate this lower, but the ending was so sweet and wholesome that it redeemed itself.
Pros: I loved the overall arc revolving around the pregnancy and how themes of single parenthood were discussed. It was really sweet to see the protagonist rally her family and friends around her and to see her figure out her relationship with the child’s father.
Cons: the romance felt so cringey, and the main character and her love interest were so deeply unfunny and written like they were 15, not 30 years old. I skipped through some of the scenes between them because they were too cringey to read and just so not funny.
