Thank you to NetGalley and Entangled Publishing for providing me with a copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.
Goodreads synopsis
There’s more to me than just being awk-weird. I own my own flower shop, have some great friends, and I have my eye on adopting the most adorable kitten. But sadly, hot guys don’t tend to be blown away by my trivia-spouting, dorky self.
So when a Thor-lookalike who happens to be a professional hockey player hits on me at my bestie’s wedding rehearsal party... You better believe I climbed that tree like a cat. And the fact that it happened not once, not twice, but three times? Yeah, that’s pretty much a once-in-a-lifetime experience for a woman like me.
There’s zero chance I’ll end up ever seeing him again... right?
Until the pregnancy test comes up positive.
What happens next? Oh my God, I wish I knew…
Review
I did not expect to love this book as much as I did. I smiled, I laughed and I even nearly cried while reading this book.
I felt like I connected with Tess on a very strong level. I’m quite weird myself and extremely awkward at times so everything she did or said just made me love her even more. She’s been let down quite a lot and in turn that leads her to feel like everything in her life is temporary and that honestly broke my heart. Tess is a sweet, smart and loving woman who I was rooting for the whole time.
When I first read the synopsis for this book I was concerned that their was going to be a large amount of the whole ‘jock falls in love with the nerd’ cliché but there was none of that. Cole, while being a pro hockey player, is just as smart as Tess and has his own issues. He has a routine and cannot step outside of it. He lives in a black and white world while Tess lives in a world of colour and honestly, watching the two worlds collide was absolutely perfect.
I loved this book from beginning to end and simply could not put it down. While not for a younger audience, this book is perfect for anyone looked for a light, quick, heartfelt romance which will tug at your heart strings. I cannot wait to dive into Avery Flynn’s other books, especially Parental Guidance which is set in the same universe!
Rating: 5/5 stars
