A surprise pregnancy leads to even more life-changing revelations in this heartfelt, slow-burn, friends-to-lovers romance of found family and unexpected love. Eve Hatch is pretty content with her life. Her apartment in Brooklyn is cozy and close to her childhood best friend Willa, but far from her midwestern, traditional family who never really understood her. While her job is only dream- adjacent , she’s hoping her passion and hard work will soon help her land a more glamorous role. And sure, her most recent romantic history has consisted of not one but two disappointing men named Derek. At least she always knows what to expect…until she finds herself expecting after an uncharacteristic one-night stand. The unplanned pregnancy cracks open all the relationships in her life. Eve's loyal friendship with Willa is feeling off , right when she needs her most. And it’s Willa’s steadfast older brother, Shep, who steps up to help. He has always been friendly, but now he’s checking in, ordering her surprise lunches, listening to all her complaints, and is… suddenly kinda hot? Then there’s the baby's father, who is supportive but conflicted. Before long, Eve is rethinking everything she thought she knew about herself and her world. Over the course of nine months, as Eve struggles to figure out the next right step in her expanding reality, she begins to realize that family and love, in all forms, can sneak up on you when you least expect it.

    Heavy on the miscommunication and no communication trope.

    This books was a sweet book about what happens when you find yourself in a position you weren’t expecting. Eve, after a one night stand, finds herself pregnant and in shock.

    What’s more shocking is finding the baby daddy is back on with his on again, off again girlfriend, who he was off with when the night happened.

    This book took us on the journey of Eve’s nine months of pregnancy and how she, and the people around her adapted. Especially her best friend’s brother, Shep, who ends up being a rock for her in all the ways she needed.

    I really enjoyed the journey and how it all shook out in the end.
