    I’ll preface by saying I am not much of a romance reader BUT I did read some exceptional romance books before so I consider myself qualified to say this was not super good.

    The writing was not so bad but there was so much repetition there and so many cringe dialogue. The plot felt a bit all over the place sometimes and there are some nonsense logic in there. As for the characters, well Emma isn’t that likeable (I guess it makes sense though) and Justin is just plain. His whole personality is liking her and that is it. It fell a bit too insta love for me and for no reason at all too! Their conversation were superficial and also so boring (why was I here for a “hello how was your day” type of conversation?). Maddy’s whole personality is “MC’s best friend” and the kids are cartoon-like (also why did they instantly loved Emma that much??). The book deals with some heavy topics yet it all feels too childish and unrealistic.

    Overall it wasn’t my cup of tea.
