, they were great! I need to read more by this author cause I liked her writing style and how easy this was to read. I appreciated the limb disability rep which added nuance to the story. I wanted a little more to the story though it was good but it felt like something was missing.

Read for:
- Accidental pregnancy
- One night stand
- Roommates
- Forced proximity
- Disability rep
- Steamy
2d:T5b4,Eleventy-thousand stars!! Oof. My favorite MF romance book so far this year and honestly can’t imagine anything topping it. I wouldn’t change a thing because it was perfect as-is HOWEVER (and honestly please disregard this bc it’s not a big deal) even though I wouldn’t want to change anything, I guess I was anticipating a smidgen more insight into the daily/romantic challenges/adjustments the MC’s face with their disability/limb-differences.

* Very very mild spoilery thoughts below. *

It could also be argued that a book with disability-rep shouldn’t have to make the condition a focal point for it to be relevant. However.. with how recently the MMC experienced this enormous life-change and how (second-hand mentioned) significantly his emotional/mental state was affected, it almost seemed like the appearance of the FMC and their blossoming romance magically rendered all the major mobility adjustments/changes insignificant aside from few and infrequent mentions.
He came across as someone who had a limb-difference most of his life rather than it happening the previous year. While I LOVED how much the story focused on the progression of the romance, I personally (and again, this is purely me being greedy for that added layer of backstory/depth) was waiting for a teensy bit more of that aspect.

But I digress. I have the fuzziest of warm fuzzies from this book and EVERYONE WILL ADORE IT.
