About this listen

A slow-burn friends-to-lovers romance from Cara Bastone, an audio bestselling author, perfect for fans of Jo Watson, Lauren Layne and Hannah Orenstein.

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 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 traditional midwestern 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.

Excellent

A little more raunchy than I expected but as ever a wonderful story that takes you away from the mundane and into a fun and frivolous world that you really become invested in. Loved it.

The characters and the narrator…

Favourite book of the year. I don’t normally leave reviews. The writing and the way the main characters speak and think we’re really relatable. I loved them all, flaws and all. I wished there had been more of Ethan, but I guess that was the point… I’d really like to read another by Cara Bastone, but they’re narrated by different people and I don’t want to ruin it with a different narrator, because I loved this one!

Fluffy and sparkly and just lovely

I adored this book so much. It was fluffy and lovely and made me laugh out loud several times. It was at a great pace so I got to know all the characters properly I just didn’t want it to end

Heartwarming

Enjoyable listen, it was a heartwarming story. Wasn’t a big fan of the male characters but overall a very enjoyable listen.

She does it again!

I need to stop listening to Cara Bastone's stories. They get me all up in my feelings and I'm not sure I can really cope with it. It's nice to believe there are still Sheps and Ethans out there though.
Narrator was also fantastic!

And enjoyable story

This audiobook was enjoyable and easy to listen to, though perhaps a bit lengthy and repetitive in places. The focus is more on pregnancy than romance. I occasionally found the characters, particularly the male characters, to lack realism; they seemed almost too perfect.

Brilliantly written and performed!

Great story, wonderful characters, beautifully brought to life by Alex Finke. In particular, Alex's portrayal of the at times slightly deranged heroine was hilarious. Couldn't stop listening and now I'm so sad to have finished. I need another Cara Bastone fix... soon!

Great book and brilliant voice acting.

A great story with bery relayable characters. The voice acting is on point, conveying the emotions perfectly. Very well done!
