What to expect
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.
'Cara Bastone is one of the most talented writers in the romance genre today. With her signature blend of heart, humor, and honesty, Cara's books remind you that the best stories begin and end with hope' LYSSA KAY ADAMS
Eve Hatch has always been content to coast through her life, with a steady, if uninspiring, job and a cozy apartment in Brooklyn, close to her childhood best friend Willa and far from the midwestern, traditional family who never really understood her.
But when she finds herself pregnant after an uncharacteristic one-night stand, her comfy life is suddenly up in the air. Eve's loyal friendship with Willa is feeling tense, right when she needs her the most, and it's actually Willa's steadfast big brother, Shep, who steps up with the most support and he's . . . suddenly kinda hot?
As if she needs one more complication, there's also the baby's father, who is technically supportive, but majorly conflicted. But as Eve struggles to figure out the next 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.

This is like a shot of candyfloss with a side of haribo. Eve is like a ray of sunshine who is laugh out loud funny and shep is a golden retriever boyfriend. I loved every second of this book and if you are on the fence about reading it, jump off the fence and buy it immediately. The writing is wonderful and to top it all off the narration is the most engaging I have ever listened to while listening to a romance. I hope the narrator will be hired to do much more as she elevated the material to even more crazily funny heights. I am in LOVE with this book and the narration.
